“The execution is incredible,” he said of the dancing. “The height that some of the dancers are getting is very, very high when they are doing a split.”

Sandy Kessler, a financial adviser, saw the Sunday matinee with her friend, Philip Orner, an attorney. The two felt spiritually touched by the Shen Yun performance.
“It’s spectacular. It’s very uplifting,” said financial adviser Sandy Kessler. “It speaks to my heart and soul.”
Ms. Kessler said of the performers, “They are so light, and so graceful and high-spirited.”
Her friend Philip Orner, an attorney, was touched by the messages in the show. “We don’t take status and wealth with us when we leave this world. It’s just about our kindness and our affection and our good acts,” he shared.
