"Absolutely Gorgeous" - Shen Yun in Houston

Houston, Texas, is currently playing host to New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts.

[Rita Junker-Pickar, Attorney]:
“I loved it. It’s beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous.”

The dancers present Chinese classical dance and Chinese ethic and folk dance.

[Rita Junker-Pickar, Attorney]:
“The athleticism of the performers was unbelievable, unbelievable really.”

Shen Yun translates as “the beauty of divine beings dancing.”

[Rita Junker-Pickar, Attorney]:
“Obviously the spirituality is the basis of it—really beautiful. I’m so grateful that you bought this here.”

[Russell Reekwald, Company Owner]:
“It’s just amazing, the soprano how high she could go and how deep he could go. It was just incredible. Just awesome. Very talented group.”

[Steve Paul, Attorney]:
“The way everything flows, the beauty of the dance, the choreography, is really impressive.”

[Sister Maria Teresa Nguyen, Audience Member]:
“I saw the harmony and the unity among the performers themselves, so that brings about a lot of messages, of how much time and effort they put in to it to bring about the gift of art.”

[Gordon Quan, Houston Mayor Pro Tem]:
“I think it’s unique in the combination of graphics along with live action, to create a better, a different perspective of history. And the celestial bodies that you would not normally see in a dance performance.”

[Sister Maria Goretti Nguyen, Audience Member]:
 “And I really appreciate Chinese art. It is very spiritual. And I just wonder how all the performers can remember all their parts.”

[Gary Reese, Sr. Project Manager]:
“And the music is uplifting. The tone of the whole presentation is pleasant.”
