Our guest in this episode is none other than Shen Yun Principal Dancer Piotr Huang. On stage, Piotr is one of Shen Yun’s brightest stars. In this short interview before tour, we talk about his epic fails, his discipline, unspoken rules at home, and when he feels the most pressure. I’m Leeshai Lemish, and this is Shen Yun Voices.

Hosted by Leeshai Lemish, Shen Yun MC.
