I saw performances by the Shen Yun Performing Arts twice. I was excited and truly admired the artists’ talent, as well as the tremendous effort they have devoted to bringing spiritually inspired values to the audience. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to see their performances again.

The sixth performance of Shen Yun at…
The sixth performance of Shen Yun at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, Canada, was monotonous and lacked originality. The artistic expression of the performers was poor, and the political undertones were too strong, giving an impression of a declining quality. Calling it an artistic performance is somewhat of a stretch.

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

That's a nightmare
The dancing, stage lighting and choreography were mediocre and repetitive - seemed amateurish. I was considering leaving during intermission but the decision solidified when an opera singer started singing nonsense. I am quite disappointed that I hadn’t researched the show properly and fell for the ads. Came home and did some reading on it - a cult that denies evolution, is extremely homophobic, and has other wild, racist ideologies. So sad I gave them money - avoid avoid avoid!

The performance is suspected of religious infiltration, utterly devoid of any value, and absolutely not worth watching—it's terrible

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.

Someone is deliberately trying to spread negative reviews to bring down Shen Yun. Watch the trailer to get a feel for and imagine how amazing the Shen Yun performances and artists are. I love Shen Yun.

I had the chance to watch Shen Yun at…
I had the chance to watch Shen Yun at Taiwan, and it was truly a unique experience. The performance is visually stunning, with incredibly vibrant costumes, precise choreography, and a beautifully synchronized orchestra that blends Eastern and Western instruments.
What stood out most was the storytelling. Each dance piece conveyed a different story from Chinese history, folklore, or spiritual themes, and even without dialogue, the emotions were clear and engaging. The dancers are exceptionally skilled, and their movements feel both powerful and graceful at the same time.
That said, some parts of the show include strong cultural and spiritual messages that may not resonate with everyone, depending on personal perspective. However, from an artistic standpoint, the production quality and discipline of the performers are undeniably impressive.
Overall, Shen Yun is worth watching if you appreciate classical dance, culture, and high-level stage production. It’s not just a performance—it’s an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

The program's arrangement is too simple, and the actors are also very unprofessional. Many programs have an advertising nature.

Thank you and keep up with this unique experience to make the world a more wonderful place
I saw Shen Yun in Copenhagen, Danmark and if you consider that many of the artists or their families are or have been persecuted in China, I think is very brave to focus on the dance, the music, playing instruments, dancing and thinking on that high level it is very amazing.
Thank you so much for this wonderful show and keep up doing this amazing thing to be part of a more wonderful world : )
