LOS ANGELES—For Allen Ruilova, a computer animation artist with some major Hollywood productions under his belt, watching Shen Yun Performing Arts was a “very nice escape.”

“It’s a very nice departure from reality,” he said, after watching the performance with his wife Lara at the Nokia Theatre, on March 22.

Based in New York, Shen Yun presents classical Chinese dance and music with exhilarating productions. The company has a mission to revive China’s divinely inspired culture through the performing arts.

“It’s lovely,” said Mr. Ruilova. “I liked it very much.”

“It’s beautiful; choreography, costumes, it’s beautiful … costumes were amazing.”

Similar to her husband, Mrs. Ruilova said she also loved Shen Yun, and was mesmerized by it.

“The choreography is lovely, and the costuming and execution as well,” she said.
