A very beautiful and inspiring show! Both the orchestra and the dancers are amazing. They are so in sync, and no mistakes are made. It’s flawless! Shen Yun portray how the culture was in China in the ancient times. Many good values that the world need more of today. I am most grateful being able to experience this.

I every year see this show ,because I am Chinese ,I can feeling more power energy.
And happiness.

Shen Yun is absolutely breathtaking! The costumes, colors, and digital backdrop are stunning, and the dancers move with incredible precision and synchronization. The high-level techniques and difficult movements are executed perfectly.

What makes it even more special is how traditional, classic stories are expressed through dance in a way that both Eastern and Western audiences can easily understand, conveying themes of kindness and love.

The vocal performances are outstanding—truly world-class singers with powerful and moving voices.

The entire show is simply beautiful. My whole family loved it! I highly recommend everyone to experience it!

I thought it was really beautiful. So much hard work was put into the performance , and it was just evident to see that. There’s been a smear campaign going on , with threats against the performers and stuff, and some shows were even cancelled in Canada, but that doesn’t change this show from being awesome. I loved the stories and the colours. Awesome and highly recommend to anyone.

Our whole family went and it was a great experience especially for my two daughters. The stage effects, dancing, music, and costumes worked together to deliver a very impressive show. It's something we would return to again in the future.

My child and I both love watching Shen Yun. Every year, my child says the performance ends before they’ve had enough of it. Especially impressive is the seamless blend of the backdrop and the performers, which often draws gasps of amazement from the audience. We feel completely immersed in the stories from different dynasties. It is a beautiful experience for the whole family and a cherished memory we create together.

I’m a Chinese I used to not like my own culture since I grew up in China and the education over there now under Communist regime they defame the old culture of China to be superstitious and backward and a lot more. After I watched Shen Yun show I am so proud to be Chinese since Shen Yun really presents authentic Chinese culture in a very artistic and creative way full of ancient wisdom, beauty, purity and energy. Very impressive and engaging and entertaining! The pure beauty of the colours and the costumes are amazing and captivating. The story based dance dramas portray the ancient Chinese values and virtues very educational to everyone. The live orchestra’s music is so mesmerizing and makes you feel like you were in ancient China in that specific dynasty or region. The animated backdrop is so interactive and immersive very eye-catching hard to believe how they can make it so magical!! A world class show in a word can’t be missed!

Shen Yun's performance was absolutely wonderful. The performers' skills were superb, and I felt God's blessing and mercy. Nothing has ever moved me to tears before. It was a reappearance of God, a call from God to humanity. Thank you, Shen Yun. I hope more people will see it. Its true charm lies not only in the performance itself, but also in the positive, inspiring, and profound message it conveys. It brings the audience genuine joy and inner peace!

A powerful and inspirational show, you get to experience authentic Chinese classical dance, a few legendary stories, some magical moments you only get to enjoy in person. And of course beautiful live orchestra. Love it so much! 100/100! Highly recommend it to anyone!

I had the opportunity to see Shen Yun in Kitchener, and it was truly amazing. The performance was beautiful, powerful, and deeply moving. What touched me most was the message about tradition, resilience, and artistic freedom.
It’s more than just a show. It’s an experience that stays with you. I will definitely come back to see it every year.
Highly recommended.

I have seen Shen Yun in Mississauga Canada this March. I would like to give Shen Yun performance 12 out of 10. It’s the best show I’ve ever seen, the dance( all dancers technique is outstanding!) , live music( combining east and west, so unique and so soothing), hundreds of gorgeous costumes, 3D animated backdrop brought tgecaudience to another dimension and paradise. I heard the audiences in “vow” many times during the performance. I felt so inspired and uplifted by the values and virtues it demonstrates like compassion, faith and courage, which many of us forgot and lack of in the current society, and I love the China before communism it shows, people help each other, love each other, believes in “ you reap what you sow” . I strongly recommend Shen Yun to all my friends and family, and to everyone who has or seen it.

I’m a little suspicious with all these negative reviews.. what’s going on? There have been hundreds of fake bomb threats linked to the Chinese communist party, as this performance and its message threatens the party- I mean, the show is “China before communism” and can’t tour in China. They effectively got 5 shows cancelled with that tactic and kept many from seeing it in Toronto this year unfortunately.

The show is such a treasure and there certainly is a meaningful spiritual message in some of the pieces, but in my experience has always been tasteful and the MC clearly states the performers practice a meditation practice called Falun Dafa.

I was actually able to take my 98 year old grandmother to see it and several family and staff years before, and their experience has been positive!

The performance is masterful, the story telling uplifting and clean, and the cultural and spiritual throwback rich.

I’m a big fan of the show and I see it every year!

5 stars from me!

I watched Shen Yun on March 28 at Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.

It is an incredible performance—you truly have to experience it for yourself. It beautifully showcases traditional Chinese culture before Communism, brought to life through exceptional dance, stunning visuals, and a live orchestra. I was in awe from beginning to end.

We had a lovely end of year celebration night watching Shen Yun in Waterbury Connecticut.

The dancers are lovely and looked like they really enjoyed themselves.

Despite their age, they have reached advanced dance skills and artistry.

However, because of their young age, some emotional portrayal of the character could be deeper.

I attended a performance at the Kennedy Center in DC.

The venue was beautiful. I was entertained with graceful athleticism from the dancers and moved with authentic, emotion-provoking acting on stage.

I love the touch of Chinese history and story telling in the performance.

Amazing show! The whole family enjoys it every time, an uplifting experience

Amazing, incredible, mesmerizing—it’s hard to put into words. We see it every year, it’s been our family tradition since the very first show and this was the best one yet. The storytelling was spot-on, drawing you in from start to finish.

There’s truly something for everyone: beauty, humor, depth, and a spiritual element that ties it all together. The show takes you on a journey through time, brought to life with a stunning digital backdrop.

I still don’t know how they synchronize everything so perfectly with the stage—it’s completely seamless.

Beautiful show!!! I have been visiting it for the third time and every time felt astonished! The show combines entertainment parts and parts about important things in our life. Life orchestra is above praise!

I love Shenyun!!!
