“Absolutely beautiful, lovely evening,” Timothy, the owner of an interior design company, said of the performance. “The talent is amazing. It’s so well put together.”
Kathy, a grade teacher, said, “Such tremendous dancing and movements, and the beauty was just wonderful, and the calmness is so nice. I think anyone who is interested in dance would love [Shen Yun]—children would love to see it.”
The interior designer in Timothy was impressed with Shen Yun’s vibrant tones. “Very peacock, very cherry blossom. Well done!”
“I think the story is so impressive when it’s about our values,” Timothy said. “It talks about what atheism does to the soul … There’s so much beauty and we just have to hang on to what we know is true and right, honoring our God, whoever our God is, at the top.”
Shen Yun Made Me Feel ‘I was part of the story’
Doug and Jill Beardsley were also amazed. Doug, a retired public health worker, explained that he and his wife had met during competitive ballroom dancing. They had both also been part of community and musical theatre.“It was wonderful. It’s just a lovely show for anybody. I have never seen anything like this on stage,” Doug said. “They are athletes, but they are performers. I couldn’t take my eyes off them. I was part of the story.”
“Everyone is an extremely talented performer. Everyone’s performing skills, shining joy. The energy that they were exuding was very powerful,” she said.
