Former dentist and current business owner, Andréa Baldin Amêndola Freitas, witnessed a performance by U.S.-based Shen Yun International Company at Teatro Bradesco in São Paulo, Brazil on May 1. Freitas felt the performance gave her the feeling that "the Creator has already arrived" and that Shen Yun's artists perform "with God beside them". The name Shen Yun means "the beauty of divine beings dancing". Freitas credits the performers' discipline and inner cultivation for their success. She also highlighted the overall visual presentation of the performance and stated that it was an "incredible experience" and reminded her of her past visit to China.
