SHEN YUN REVIEW in US (APRIL 2026 P1)

Audience members at New York City's David H. Koch Theater warmly welcomed Cheyney Performing Arts with enthusiastic applause on March 26th. Theatergoers said they felt captivated and deeply touched by the artistry and beauty. They're unbelievable. They're so disciplined. They're perfection. I wish I could move like they move. I like the way they flip in the air. They made it look so easy and it almost looks like they're gliding in the air. It looks very nice. Very nice to watch. Beautiful. I love the animation in the background and how that was done. That, you know, someone jumped in and all of a sudden they're in the picture, they're out of the picture. It was just great. The whole show. Ancient Chinese culture and values come to life in Cheyney's performances through classical Chinese dance, music, and storytelling. Their mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture due to the current Chinese regime disconnecting modern Chinese people from their authentic culture and persecuting those with faith since taking power in 1949. Just a good message about living in life and pure spirits and good energy and good people. The perfection and the desire to get the message out and the resilience and the strength of the people. And I think that's beautiful. And I think that no one else should forget that because that is happening right now and it can't be ignored. I think it's really mesmerizing. It feels like it's bringing back the mystical, remind us of our transcendence and taking us beyond form into the formless. And it's really just out of this world extraordinary. I would like to tell my friends, you have to come and experience it. I can't explain it to you. You have to come and experience it for yourself. Shen Yun will continue to perform in New York City until April 12th. NTD News, New York. Theatergoers in Salt Lake City were enthralled after experiencing Shen Yun performing arts. Shen Yun brought 5,000 years of China's authentic heritage to the George S. and Dolores Dori Eccles Theater from March 13th to the 18th. It just takes my breath away. Everything is just magnificent. The technique is outstanding. The costume and then all of the special effects. The scenery is just amazing. I love it. Man, I wish I had half of that energy. I have wanted to come and see this show for years and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely magical. The dancers were strong and flexible and precise. I just thought it was a magical experience. Since 2006, the New York-based Shen Yun has been showcasing classical Chinese dance and culture from China before communism. Traditions the Chinese regime continues to suppress even today. There was some sadness knowing that there has been oppression on some of those cultural interests that people have to pursue their beliefs. It was kind of fun to see the strength of people pushing and leaning forward towards what they want to be and what they want to believe. What we kind of see today is just the communist kind of attitude in the country and to realize that there is so much emotion, so much trust, so much faith in what we call God in the country and still in the people themselves. It is very moving. Very moved. It takes a lot of courage to hang on to your faith despite people potentially being prosecuted for holding on to their faith. I love the message that it sent and just the amazement of whoever wrote this, that they have their inspiration of creating such wonderful things. You go home with a message of hope and the message that it sends of kindness and everything. And also learning about a new tradition. I think it's fabulous, absolutely. Yes, I think everyone should see it. NTD News, Salt Lake City, Utah. Shui Ying Performing Arts gave a performance at the Benidorm Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on March 22nd. Audience members expressed their joy to see the performance after waiting a decade to see Shui Ying in Pittsburgh. This was the most beautiful show across the board. My children came with me and we had the most wonderful time. We loved the storytelling, the artwork, the athleticism, but also the God aspect. We really just loved how beautiful the storytelling from the past to the present day was. It was incredible. It's so relaxing and I think it's not my last time. It's my first time, very first time, but I'm sure it's not my last time. So I'm so grateful I could be here with my friends. I think they were beautiful. What I noticed most was how lovely every movement that the dancers made, the way the skirts would move around the floor, their foot movements, their arm movements with beautiful, especially the dance with the sleeves. I thought that was really gorgeous. In addition to ancient myths and legends, Shui Ying also portrays modern day stories of spiritual persecution faced by the people in China. Yes, I know the history and it's very sad and people need to be reminded about it, that not every country is free and we need to fight for our freedom. Getting to see firsthand and hear your own stories from Shen Yun was eye-opening, inspiring, but also confirming that more needs to be done about letting people believe in God. The main thing is forbearance and spiritual purity or perfection should never be persecuted because that's not going to hurt anybody. It's only going to make you and the world a better place. Shui Ying's mission is to portray 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and stories through classical Chinese dance and a live orchestra. It's not only beautiful art, but a piece of the Chinese history. Oh, it's just fantastic. It's hard to imagine how they come up with the beauty of the motion and the coloring and the background and the CGI. It all fits together so amazing and it's a great story that they tell. So we really enjoyed it very much. 10 out of 10. You have to bring your children to see it. You have to come to see it. It's not just a family opportunity. It really is a cultural opportunity. I would say you have to come and see it. The performance was incredible. The message is wonderful. The music, the orchestra was fantastic. It was definitely going to come again next year. Absolutely. Shui Ying will be performing in New York City from March 25th to April 12th. NTD News, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Shui Ying Performing Arts dazzled audiences in Columbus, Georgia on March 17th and Montgomery, Alabama on March 18th, taking theatergoers on a journey through ancient China. So meaningful and deep. It's not shallow at all. It's almost like looking at nature in itself. The beauty that the dancers portray, their movements are all just perfect and choreographed so well. You could tell there were many hours of practice going into that because it was all done so perfectly. It's just wonderful. It's just beautiful. Shui Ying's mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture from before communism. Audience members appreciated Shui Ying's efforts and commented on the importance of tradition. This program demonstrated what it was like before in China. And you got the feeling that all those things we've talked about, you know, family, people looking out for each other and so forth, was very important. The message of going back to tradition and going back to religion and all those things, we need that here in this country also. I love the connection with tradition and the connection with divinity. We're blessed by a god or other divine being that has given us all these wonderful blessings. Our own self, this wonderful world, nature, the interactions that we have with each other, we're all blessed by that. And I think that that came through in the performance today. Based in New York, Shui Ying has eight different companies that tour the world simultaneously, bringing an all new performance each year with brand new dances, music, and costumes. This is incredible. And I love that it's right here in Montgomery, Alabama, and the impact that it'll have on Alabamians and everyone across the United States. We need to see this. We need to see not just a performance, but the way we all think and the way we all blend together. I like the way they have done the history of China and brought it up to modern times. The costuming is really great. I can't say enough about it. It's awesome. Shui Ying will be performing in New York City from March 25th to April 12th. NTD News, New York.
