Shen Yun (Divine) Performing Arts May 22, 2009

A glorious art form. Five millennia in the making. One unforgettable show.

Inspired by the spirit of an ancient culture, Shen Yun (Divine) Performing Arts brings to life classical Chinese dance and music in a gloriously colorful and exhilarating show. With an elite company of dancers, singers, and musicians, the New York-based Shen Yun returns to Seattle this spring to present its best works from past years.

The company's masterful choreography and graceful routines range from grand classical processions to ethnic and folk dances, with gorgeously costumed dancers moving in stunning synchronized patterns. Its themes are drawn from the pages of history as well as our world today.

State-of-the-art backdrops conjure celestial palaces and pastoral vistas, while groundbreaking music combines the best of Chinese and Western composition. Taking inspiration from ancient heroic legends and modern courageous tales, the breathtaking beauty of Shen Yun is not to be missed.
