If you think it's just another hodge-fudge of dragon dance and circus moves from China, please do yourself a favor and give it a closer look. New York based Shen Yun Performing Arts Company consists of a group of Chinese and Western professionally trained dancers and musicians. They bring to San Diego, as part of the world tour, a truly one-of-a-kind spectacular! The dance, the music, and the costumes are all inspired by traditional Chinese philosophy and culture.

To kick it up a notch, traditional culture and modern technology are combined to create some splendid backdrops on stage, which depict each and every scene with true-to-life image and animation. You will feel as if you have been taken on a magical journey through the 5000 years of civilization. In the end, it is not just about the Chinese culture and dance, you will realize that no matter what your background is, from our human core, WE ARE ALL ONE! Go and experience the authenticity and the divine beauty for yourself. You will leave with a smile on your face and in your heart.
