Reviving 5000 years of Civilization
While working in the She Is Dallas booth at the VISIONS Women’s Expo, I had the opportunity to meet Ann Yang, Director of Southern USA Falun Dafa Association. Ann was very passionate as she told all about the
Shen Yun performance coming to Dallas in December.
When she first started telling me about it, I didn’t quite understand all that it is and represents.
Shen Yun.
What does that mean?
For Chinese, the words evoke a sense of wonder, magic, and the divine. I can tell you that I watched a short
video of a Shen Yun performance and I certainly felt these things. It is breathtaking.
Heavenly music ¦ breathtaking dances ¦ enchanting landscapes ¦ and timeless legends “ experience these with Shen Yun Performing Arts.

Sophisticated dance techniques, an orchestra joining instruments East and West, beautiful costumes, and a stunning back drop ”this is Shen Yun at first glance.
But digging deeper, one discovers a sea of traditional Chinese culture.
Mortals and divine beings merge on stage as one.
Principles such as benevolence and justice, propriety and wisdom, respect for the heavens, and divine retribution, all come to life, washing over the audience.
For 5,000 years in China, culture was heralded as a divine gift. Its glory was long the inspiration of countless artists and poets, until this heritage was nearly lost…
Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts seeks to revive this once-majestic tradition by creating a production worthy of its beauty of this noble history. To enrich the lives of audiences in powerful, long lasting ways.
My husband’s name is Shen. He is white. He also speaks fluent Spanish (something this coconut cannot do). But anyway, back to the name Shen. He likes to remind me that “Shen” means great spirit or god in Chinese. A lot. We actually thought about going to see this performance back when we saw it advertised at the State Fair of Texas.
