Though the duo saw various poster ads for the show throughout the years, the timing never seemed quite right. This year, Anguelina took a leap of faith and purchased tickets.
She was rendered speechless.

The world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company, Shen Yun is famed for its series of short dance pieces that take the audience on a ride through the dynasties and across vast regions of China.
According to the company’s website, the classical Chinese dance we see in China today is heavily mixed with military and modern dance styles. Only at Shen Yun can you find it performed in its purest form—the way it was originally passed down through the generations.
Lena gaped at the stunning techniques.
“The synchronization, they did it all together. It’s beautiful. I have watched so many shows around the world, and I will watch this show again because of how beautiful and masterful the dancers are,” she gushed.
For 5,000 years, China’s civilization flourished under the shared belief that the divine will bless those who uphold traditional moral values. Tragically, within just a few decades of the communist party’s violent takeover, these beliefs were erased and replaced with atheism.
“I really like it when nations try to [preserve and] save their traditions,” Lena noted thoughtfully.
“I was so happy to see that Shen Yun has brought their singers, traditional music, and instruments with them. It’s not just dance—they brought everything—like a bouquet of beautiful flowers. I really recommend it.”
