PHOENIX, Ariz.—For a former executive from the computer industry an evening with Shen Yun Performing Arts was worthwhile spent.
Mr. John Keogh attended an afternoon performance of the Shen Yun International Company at the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix on Sunday, March 10.
Shen Yun is a classical Chinese dance and music company, based in New York, with a mission to restore millennia-old traditional Chinese culture and values through dance and music.
“A Shen Yun performance features the world’s foremost classically trained dancers, a unique orchestra blending East and West, and dazzling animated backdrops—together creating one spectacular performance,” according to the Shen Yun website.
Ms. Lan Lu, who has also retired from the high-tech industry, accompanied Mr. Keogh.
Ms. Lu was deeply impressed with Shen Yun’s dances. “This is the most amazing show I’ve ever seen. I’ve always wanted to watch this,” she said.
As an ethnic Chinese, Ms. Lu, who is originally from Taiwan, feels proud to have experienced her heritage displayed on stage.
“I’m very happy that we have this culture to share with the world,” Ms. Lu said.
To his friends, Mr. Keogh would say about Shen Yun: “It’s a very good show, you should see it.”
