Shen Yun Review: Jeannie Howe, Executive Director, Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance

“Oh, it was really terrific, it was a visual feast, but also so interesting to watch the dancers, particularly in the ethnic dances... One of the things that I enjoyed about it the most was learning about the history of China and also, as I was saying, the ethnic dances, to really think about the costumes, and the movements, and maybe the origin of the movements that came from the work that people did in those communities, or some kinds of ritual practice that they had... I was just completely engaged with the show–you know, sometimes you have your ups and downs–and it was just completely engaging... A little lightness, a little humor, but also throughout it a seriousness and that connection to spirituality.”
