About the Show
The VIP package ($280): specially designed to give an unforgettable & complete cultural experience.
Inspired by the spirit of an ancient culture, Shen Yun 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 comes to Manhattan in February, performing on and around Valentine's Day, which also happens to be the Chinese New Year's Day for year 2010.
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 from a full live orchestra combines the best of Chinese and Western composition. Taking inspiration from ancient heroic legends and modern courageous tales, the breathtaking beauty of Shen Yun Performing Arts is not to be missed.

All choreography and music performed are original.
