From the first note, Shen Yun takes you on a magical journey. Not only are the dances beautiful, but the solo songs are equal in grandeur. I like how Shen Yun uses dance and song to not just educate China’s history but also their present day. I heard many children asking their parents questions about China after the show and I think it gives people the opportunity to explain what is happening in China today.

(Sat., April 27, 2013) What an absolute shame to see how MANY north americans (gringos) were dressed for such a magnificent event. We saw tank-tops, Bermuda shorts, flip-flops, spaghetti-strap blouses, jeans, sneakers, boots, etc.... Perhaps some sort of "Dress Code Enforcement" at the entrance of every Shen Yun Theater would knock some sense to such careless, oblivious and ignorant individuals. About Shen Yun, HATS OFF !!! to all the World Class, Crème-de-la-Crème Artists/Musicians who perform with a true display of splendid and exceptional beauty of the Performing Arts... BRAVO SHEN YUN !!! We will most definitely see you next year dressed to the standards and upmost respect that each and everyone of you undoubtedly deserve!

很好看！

It's impossible to narrow it down to what I like best because I like it all. The music, the amazing dances, the precise timing of live dances and the background screen, just everything. I plan to see it again!

I just saw this show Sunday March 24th 2013 at the SHN Orphem Theater in San Francisco. I was in the 2nd row! The show was great and I really enjoyed the little stories. Chinese culture is so rich and interesting. Thank you so much for creating this for all to enjoy. I'll see you all next year!

Wonderful beyond compare - I hope that it comes back

Shen Yun is even more fabulous the second year seeing the show. The effects of the dancers entering and exiting the stage via the scenes on the big screen is amazing. The acting in the dances is phenomenal. The colors are inviting to watch. The costumes and props are like none I have ever seen performed. The dancers are smooth and elegant with gorgeous flowing lines. The dances keep you on the edge of your seat awaiting the next story to be told. Again...Fabulous!

The performance was amazing. The costumes and dancing were beautiful. The balance and moves of the dancers were incredible. The female dancers balancing the bowls on their head while dancing without dropping them...wow.

I LOVED the performances, but got very tired of the man and woman coming out to speak before each and every one of them. It made the night seem very long. Maybe if they just came out before certain performances, it would be okay, but not all of them.
