SALT LAKE CITY—Scott Moses, an architect at Method Studio, Salt Lake City, brought his daughter and son to Shen Yun at the Doré Eccles Theater on March 12 because of his daughter’s love of dance. “It is incredible. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen,” he said.
Even during his travels to Hong Kong and Thailand, he had not experienced such a unique performance. He wondered how his daughter could borrow from Chinese culture, especially the costumes, which he noted were “elegant and colorful.”

It was inspiring to see the positive themes, even in parts depicting persecution, Mr. Moses said. The performance was divinely inspired and he would love to see it again. “You can see it in their faces and the costumes, the way that they hold themselves, their posture—everything seems very refined and divine.”

Claire said she felt happy and joyful and is inspired to think that she might perform like the dancers on stage.

New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts aims to bring back China’s 5,000 years of culture to the modern stage—through story-based dance and music.

Everything Has Meaning

Business owner Donovan Largent brought his wife and daughters to Shen Yun Performing Arts performance as a Christmas gift. He didn’t know what to expect but found it enjoyable and delightful, and found the choreography phenomenal.

Even though he didn’t know a lot about Chinese culture before he came, Mr. Largent was impressed by it, especially the divinely inspired message experienced from the dances, the choreography, and backdrop, and how it applies to every human being. “It’s like everything we do. There’s a reason we do it, whether it’s for us or a Supreme Being.”

“Every piece that we watched today has a meaning behind it, ... if you can understand that meaning.” The dances have meaning for all: “When we do things that hurt us, it hits right to the core, and a lot of what we see here with the dancing and the belief, I see that.”
