Bilyana Freye, Co-Founder and CEO of Hoppin felt the spirit of China through the performance.

“The dancers are absolutely phenomenal,” said Freye. “In one hour, we’ve been through China over centuries.”

“The choreography, the spirit of it is really on another level, it’s phenomenal,” she said. “I encourage everyone to come and see it, and really feel part of the spirit of China.”

Special Event

Bilyana’s husband, Henrik Freye, said he was researching online for the most spectacular dance performances in New York, as something special to take his wife to when he found Shen Yun.

“I came across Shen Yun, and then, by chance, I have a few colleagues who know a lot about dance, and they recommended the show as well,” said Henrik. “So they said ‘you have to see it’, and so far, I have not been disappointed.”

“What I really appreciated with the show is that it integrated the sort of audiovisual effects, special effects, with the physical dancers very well, and I have not seen that in a show before,” he said.

“So I was impressed by all the dances, and all the vivid colors and [you] know I found it very energizing, the whole performance,” said Henrik.

Vibrant Culture

Victor Wortmann, President of VRH Aviation Construction Specialists, was enthusiastic about Shen Yun’s mission to bring back China’s 5,000 years of traditional culture.

“Wonderful, it should have been done a long time ago,” said Wortmann.

“Absolutely amazing,” he said. “I just wasn’t sure when I came here what I was going to see. It was just so vibrant and it was, I’m just impressed.”

When asked about which part of the performance resonated with him the most, Wortmann referenced the act depicting the persecution of Falun Gong in China under the communist regime.

“I think the favorite part was the young lady that got tortured in prison, and was able to come back with it with the help of her friends,” said Wortmann.

“But I was so enthralled throughout the entire performance,” he said. “It just was fantastic to see their culture.

“They just conveyed it so well, and I’m very impressed.”
