SPOKANE, Wash.­—­Shen Yun Performing Arts is a nostalgic experience for audience members who have already visited China. It is a poignant moment to be able to admire the beauty of China’s traditional culture through a repertoire of classical Chinese dance and music, artforms which draw on China’s 5,000-year-old civilization.
Terry Carlson, a semi-retired business owner, his wife Eunice, a homemaker, and Ami Balison, a teacher, were all enjoying a wonderful evening at the First Interstate Center for the Arts in Spokane.
Mr. Carlson, who was watching Shen Yun for the first time, had already visited China and admired its culture.
