NEW YORK—Phil Boyle, former New York state senator and assemblymember, felt touched by tranquility seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
“Oh it’s beautiful—the culture, the dancing, the music, it’s really memorable,” Mr. Boyle said after the April 8 matinee.
“It touches my heart to see such beautiful movements and to know the long history and culture behind it. I just hope that the message gets out to everyone,” he said.
New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, formed in 2006 with the mission to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.
Mr. Boyle said he felt a “message of peace and tranquillity, and to know that the true Chinese culture is being represented in Shen Yun and that more and more Americans and people all over the world get to know it better.”…
