On March 16, Shen Yun Performing Arts took the stage at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, California, with traditional Chinese dance and music. Audience members were deeply impressed with the company’s artistry.
“It was amazing. It was great to see how the body can be so flexible. And it was so cool to see their technique. Really on point, really good,” said Ana Mendoza Hendrix, a dance studio owner and dance instructor.
“The colors were amazing, the backdrop, the costumes, everything. It was just so lively,” she said.
“The story is told so well, through the expressions, through the body movements, through just everything that is put on the stage,” said Rebecca Wilson, an American sign language interpreter.
“The way that everybody was just perfectly in line with everybody on the stage. And the other thing we really liked was that transition on the stage into the screen and coming back. We thought that was pretty cool,” said Hans Warren, a deputy sheriff.
Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, with a mission to revive 5,000 years of divinely inspired Chinese civilization from before communism. Theatergoers expressed their appreciation for Shen Yun’s efforts.
“I’m thrilled that this can be taken around the world and to try to preserve that cultural heritage. I think it’s so important,” said Ms. Wilson.
“I could feel the energy throughout the entire room, and I could feel it radiating from the performers, the dancers, the troupe, everyone there,” she said.
“It was beautiful choreography, breathtaking talent, and the orchestra was amazing,” said Tiffany Prata, a real estate agent.
Shen Yun will be performing at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach, California, on March 22 and 23.
