VENICE, Fla. -- Jeremy Erhart, retired business owner, saw Shen Yun Performing Arts for the first time on Jan. 25 at the Venice Performing Arts Center and found the production and artistic level to be "unbelievable."
"The dancing is just fantastic," he said. "And the orchestra music is really good too, without a doubt ... the range of emotions is never-ending."
"It's beautiful. It's one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen, without a doubt," said Mr. Erhart. "Just emotional, but amazing and beautiful, amazing and beautiful."
Mr. Erhart felt it was a worthy mission.
"Art like this needs to happen needs to be in existence, for sure," he said. "My biggest takeaway is that Chinese culture is beautiful, and it's alive and well with Shen Yun. So, I'll look forward to seeing it next year."
"Those are all good qualities that anyone in the world should be able to agree on," he said. "I think some of those qualities are manifested in the art form, the dance, the expressions, the movement. Those are all good qualities."
"I just pray for them. I'm a Christian. I'll be praying and thanking them for the effort and the sacrifice to promote something so beautiful," he said.
