My husband surprised me with an early Valentine's date which included seeing Shen Yun at the Belk. Belk theater is such a beautiful place! From the lobby lay out so traffic flows pretty well, to the bathrooms that are also designed to keep traffic flowing to pretty comfortable seats in the theater. It is a great overall experience.

I do wish the old school etiquette was still in tact like it used to be. I think the ushers ( that I believe are volunteers) do their best, but some people are just rude. Walking in and out of the theater during the performance is such a distraction (unless it's an absolute emergency). And while I think it's ridiculous that someone would pull their phone out for more than a second while the theater is pretty dark to check messages and social media, not dimming the brightness is unforgivable!
