YOU ASKED:
What should I know before attending the show?
 
 
The Shen Yun performance spans about two hours, including intermission. It consists of about fifteen short dance pieces inspired by traditional Chinese culture, as well as a few vocal and instrumental solos. Classical Chinese dance is at the heart of the performance, along with the authentic costumes, animated backdrops, and the live orchestra that combines classical Western and Chinese instruments.
 
All programs are family-appropriate, although different theaters have various age requirements for small children. Most venues encourage audience members to arrive 30 minutes prior to curtain. And formal, semi-formal, or business attire is recommended–as you would wear for a nice night out.
 
See you soon!
