How is an art form thousands of years old still so amazing and fun to watch?

Grace. Beauty. Energy. Thrilling leaps and spins. Classical Chinese dance has it all.

Classical Chinese dance boasts a diverse vocabulary and a wealth of techniques. It has been cultivated over millennia to become the comprehensive dance system we know today—one that is both elegant and athletic.

Performers of classical Chinese dance must connect every movement with their innermost feelings. From the steady gaze following an outstretched arm to the swift point of a finger, dancers can vividly convey emotions and bring any character to life.

Built on traditional aesthetics, classical Chinese dance is the perfect tool for reviving ancient values and virtues. That is why it’s the art at the heart of Shen Yun.
