Great art does more than just make us smile. It inspires and uplifts; it speaks directly to our hearts. Just like the artists of ancient China, Shen Yun’s performers believe that to create the highest art possible, they need to do more than master their craft—they must also develop inner beauty, a beauty of the spirit. For the Shen Yun artist, this means making meditation and spiritual growth a part of one’s life. These virtues flow through every dance movement and resonate with each musical note. You can feel this energy long after you leave the theater.
