This marked the second of the company’s three performances at Spokane. The couple thought it was an “absolutely beautiful” experience.
“It was amazing. That’s the first time we’ve seen it. We’ve been looking forward to it. It was great,” Mr. Booker said. “I can’t wait to see it next year. We’ll do it every year. We’re coming back for sure.”
“It was fantastic. That was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard,” he said.
“I was in awe. There’s no other way to describe it. I was in awe,” Mrs. Booker chimed in, adding that she thought the whole show was “very energetic.”
“The colors, the music, the background, the interactions—there was a very energetic feeling to the show,” she stated. “Definitely dynamic.”
The name ‘Shen Yun” translates directly into “the beauty of divine beings dancing.” Based in New York, the artists have made it their mission to revive, through dance and music, China’s 5,000 years of civilization to its pre-communist glory.
“The past, my past, your past—all of that happened to get us to where we are today,” he expressed.
When asked if he would be recommending Shen Yun to his friends and family, Mr. Booker answered adamantly that he would do so “without a doubt.”
“I’ve already put it on Facebook. You need to come see this show,” he said.
