Shen Yun

[dnoblett]

Shen Yun came to town this weekend, their show had been promoted locally for the past couple of months, so we had to go.

 

A beautiful show of Chinese dance and music, shares classic and modern stories from China, put to music and dance. Two dance performances had to do with the persecution of the Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) in China.

 

The innovative use of video projection and live dance was fun to watch.

 

Shen Yun has three companies that tour all over the world, the company that came to Rochester NY is based out of NYC.
