In the past year, Shen Yun staged approximately 800 performances in nearly 200 cities across 24 countries on five continents, with an audience of over a million people and the emergence of the “Shen Yun phenomenon” in various regions. Celebrities and elites flocked to witness the pure beauty and goodness of Shen Yun, showering it with endless praise.
Last year, Shen Yun set records with over 30 sold-out performances in the Greater New York area, including 18 shows at the Lincoln Center in New York, garnering unprecedented success and overwhelming acclaim.
Chiara Ajkun, director, and senior ballet choreographer of the New York Ballet Theater, lauded Shen Yun after watching the performance on April 4th, stating: “The performance was fantastic in every way. Everything was captivating. The exceptional skills of the dancers, storytelling, unique expressions through dance, costumes, and the interaction between performers and technology (dynamic backdrops) were truly, truly exquisite. I felt absolutely amazed and pleasantly surprised.”
Frank Dellapolla, a senior lead dancer who has performed at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York for nearly 17 years and graced world ballet stages for almost 30 years after attending Shen Yun on April 6th, exclaimed: “Their skills are flawlessly perfect. The dances are beautiful, and the flexibility of the female dancers is astonishing. The control and fluidity of their movements are outstanding. It’s not just about skills; what truly touches me is the artistic expression behind it. They not only showcase their talents but also convey a culture, emotions, and a high level of control. They perfectly combine artistry and technicality.”
Investor and millionaire Frederick Newcomb, praising Shen Yun after attending the performance on April 2nd, remarked: “Presenting all of this to the world is truly wonderful. Otherwise, such culture might never be known to people.”
