STAMFORD, Conn.—Personal stylist Feryeni Taggart and her husband, Tony, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts for the first time at the Palace Theatre on May 8. The couple had a magical evening.

Shen Yun “makes me feel like [I’m] transported to another time. It’s beautiful and magic[al] and well done.” Mrs. Taggart said.

“I love the expression in their faces and their hands, I love the movements of their shoulders, and they have a very beautiful sweetness about them. The strength of the boys—I can feel their strength and their hard training.”

According to the company’s website, the classical Chinese dance seen in China today is heavily mixed with military and modern styles. Only at Shen Yun can the audience experience it in its purest form, preserved as it was passed down through generations.

“I like the travel through the cultures and through the times and through the centuries,” she said. “I love the music. It sounds very ancient and very authentic.”

Though Mr. Taggart is not a man of many words, he also had a wonderful time. The performance “was beautiful,” he said.

Reflecting on Shen Yun performers’ depiction of heaven, the divine, and traditional Chinese moral values, Mrs. Taggart said she found it very inspiring.

“I love the connection that they have to the life before coming to earth,” she said.

“What I feel is that they want us to know that we all have a purpose and that we all have a mission on come to earth, and that we can create beauty and music and peace and art and connection with others through those things.”

“I’m very touched, and I’m very impressed by their dedication and their loyalty to their culture and their ancestry,” she said. “I am very grateful for them sharing their art.”
