ATLANTA—Stan and Dee Jeska decided to celebrate their son’s birthday with a family outing and attended Shen Yun Performing Arts to witness 5,000s of Chinese civilization brought to life on stage.
“It’s beauty, it’s excellence, it’s all rolled up into one fantastic performance,” said Mr. Jeska, a retired chief development officer for several national fast food chains. The family attended the performance at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on Feb. 2 and left in high spirits.
“It’s been such a wonderful time here. Everything was so beautiful in there. We’re really impressed. We’re going to tell all of our friends to come next year. ,” said Mrs. Jeska.
“The choreography, the, all the ambiance ... the moves are fantastic,” said Mr. Jeska, marveling at the tumbling techniques.
“You wonder how a body can do that,” Mr. Jeska said. He quipped that he had turned to his wife and asked whether she could do such moves. “She said, I used to.”
This, in particular, moved Mrs. Jeska, who says God is a big part of her own life.
“I see the spiritualness of it, and it just thrills me when we bring God into our life. I can feel it, what they’re telling us and dancing and doing just touches my soul,” she said.
“To see the beauty and to bring God and our Creator, we’re all of like mind and heart, and the love, the goodness of it,” she said.
“You have to ask yourself the question, why is that? Because there is nothing negative about it. It’s all positive. It comes from the heart. It comes from the soul. And you would think that would be embraced by everybody,” he said.
