Every year, Shen Yun unveils an entirely new lineup of dances, musical scores, and songs. At the core of Shen Yun’s performances is a series of short dance numbers, each about five-minutes long. These range in style from classical Chinese dance and story-based dance to China’s diverse ethnic and folk dance forms.
In a collection of short pieces, the audience travels from legends of the culture’s creation eons ago to stories of compassion and courage in China today. The Shen Yun Orchestra accompanies every dance performance, masterfully blending two of the world’s greatest classical music traditions.
Each piece is briefly presented by two bilingual emcees, who guide the audience through this foreign journey and add insight and a touch of humor to the Shen Yun experience. With a 15-minute intermission, the entire performance runs just over two hours.
