"Spiritual Expressions"

The "Spiritual Expressions" not only have extremely poor artistic quality, but also carry the subversive elements of cults that are anti-science and anti-society. They promote so-called "religious doctrines" to the audience and slander "atheism and evolutionism".

New cult brainwashing

The performance of Shen Yun carries political overtones, representing a new type of cult brainwashing. It makes people feel uncomfortable and has a poor experience with political purposes

The Costumes are Amazing!

I went to Shen Yun a few months ago and really enjoyed the experience. As someone who loves brightly colored clothing, the costumes were probably my favorite part of the show. Every time a piece started I was so excited to see what kinds of colors would come on stage next. The stories were easy to follow, despite there being no words. I liked learning about a foreign culture. The different types and reasons for bowing was interesting to me. Dance isn’t my thing, so I appreciated the stories pieces more. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique, beautiful experience.

I had a chance to watch a Shen Yun…

I had a chance to watch a Shen Yun Performing in 2019 with one of my daughter. It was amazing, and so much touching for my emotion. There were so much beautiful scenes with broadly of colorful and meaning of each dance show. Furthermore, the dancers with very best advance techniques. They looked like flying on the stage. We love the show, and we have continued watching dance show from Shen Yun in years 2023, 2024 and 2025 as each year they have a new performances.

I truly loved this performance

I truly loved this performance. It was deeply inspiring and touched my heart, reminding me that there is still so much beauty in the world. It filled me with hope for the future and encouraged me to hold on to the kindness within myself. The overall stage presentation was absolutely unparalleled and breathtaking. The costumes were exquisite, and the music masterfully blended classic Eastern and Western instruments—it was incredible. I love Shen Yun.

I love Shenyun

I love Shenyun! I watched Shenyun at Lincoln Center two weeks ago. I love the beautiful dancing, stunning costumes, touching music and the 3D movie backdrop.
The myth stories and legend stories are educational and inspiring. Spectacular show!

I watched this year’s Shen Yun…

I watched this year’s Shen Yun performance in Taiwan. It was truly outstanding. My husband, my child, and I were deeply moved by the performers’ artistry in bringing to life the authentic, divinely inspired 5,000-year-old cultural heritage of China.
