Established in New York in 2006, Shen Yun Performing Arts has evolved into one of the world’s foremost Chinese classical dance and traditional music arts groups, presenting new original works each year. Drawing inspiration from China’s five thousand years of civilization, Shen Yun tells a myriad of colorful traditional Chinese tales ranging from mythologies to imperial feasts, from snowy mountains and grasslands to Jiangnan courtyards.

Starting their 2025 performance season at the end of last year, Shen Yun is set to tour nearly 200 cities in at least 20 countries across five continents, including the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Currently, Shen Yun is simultaneously touring multiple cities in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, garnering enthusiastic responses from audiences.

“I have traveled to 30 countries around the world and have seen many ballet performances, including those by some of the world’s most renowned ballet companies. Shen Yun is the most spectacular show I have ever seen, truly amazing!” Duane Pederson, founder and CEO of four companies that watched Shen Yun for the first time, praised the performance at the Hult Center in Eugene, Oregon, on January 25.

“Shen Yun showcases a different kind of perfection, a divine perfection. You can feel it in the creativity of the backdrop images, in the creativity of the costumes; it’s a holistic experience, you cannot pick out any single part.” Charlotte von Kielmansegg, a German countess, expressed deep admiration and enchantment after watching Shen Yun’s performance at the Potsdamer Platz Theater in Berlin, Germany.

“Shen Yun is absolutely brilliant! This was my first time watching, and I was deeply inspired. It’s a great miracle, the truest and most wise way to showcase authentic Chinese culture.” Former U.S. National Security Advisor General Flynn praised Shen Yun after attending the performance at the Duke Energy Center for the Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida, on January 16.
