Shen Yun’s grand production immerses you in stories and legends that shaped Chinese culture for millennia. It’s a world where maidens danced with ethereal grace and generals fought with explosive athleticism, where timeless tales of valor and virtue were born, and where heaven and earth intersected, making even magic possible.

Based in New York, Shen Yun’s mission is to revive the best of 5,000 years of civilization. Combining the expressivity and athleticism of classical Chinese dance with an East-West live orchestra and innovative backdrops, Shen Yun is being hailed as a breakthrough in performing arts.

Shen Yun is now the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company. Some people fly from other countries or drive hundreds of miles to see it. Others see the same performance five or six times. Why? Many say there are no words to describe it—you have to see it with your own eyes to find out.

Join us and celebrate the 20th anniversary of Shen Yun for the experience of a lifetime.

I love Shen Yun. A story of incredible hope and incredible spirit! Everyone around the world should see it.”

— Rita Cosby, Emmy Award-winning journalist

Mesmerizing performance! Reclaiming the divinely inspired cultural heritage of China… I encourage everyone to see and all of us to learn from.”

—Donna Karan, fashion designer

These beautiful, gifted people are expressing something that’s both pure and good.”

—Philadelphia Weekly

Go see it to believe it, because otherwise, you are going to miss the most important thing in your life.”

— Joe Heard, former White House photographer
