Shen Yun is a life stage production for classical Chinese dance and music. Since 2007, the Shen Yun Performing Arts company, based in New York, has been on a mission to revive the long-lost treasures of China by presenting a series of original performances across the globe.

Bringing together story-telling choreography, jaw-dropping dance techniques, lavish costumes, and a unique orchestra that features both Chinese and Western instruments, Shen Yun Performing Arts has achieved tremendous growth in popularity since its founding four years ago. Presenting a program of dances and songs through the evening, Shen Yun takes the audience on a flight of fancy through China's landscape and history. You may see the real legend of Mulan as she marches off to war for her elderly father, or the Monkey King battle demons as he accompanies his monk master on a westward journey to India. With Shen Yun's lively choreography, traditional Chinese values such as loyalty, compassion and bravery are vividly illustrated on stage.
