New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts will perform three shows at the Broward Center for Performing Arts, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Feb. 2–4.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Shen Yun has performed in Florida, with shows in Orlando, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota, as well as Fort Lauderdale in the previous years. Letters of greeting from federal, state, and local officials honored the occasion.

Gov. Rick Scott welcomed Shen Yun to Fort Lauderdale as part of the company’s 2011 world tour, recognizing Shen Yun’s endeavor “to renew a cultural tradition that honors human dignity and virtue.”

Sen. Bill Nelson expressed his pleasure that the local hosting organization chose Fort Lauderdale for the venue and sent best wishes for a successful show.

Fort Lauderdale, the seat of Broward County, is 23 miles north of Miami. South Florida officials also sent greeting letters.

Fort Lauderdale Mayor John P. “Jack” Seiler welcomed back “the renowned cast and musicians of the Shen Yun Performing Arts show.” “Shen Yun celebrates the excellence of Chinese classical dance inspired by a 5,000-year-old culture. It is a wonderful showcase for the talents of the dancers, musicians, and artists involved in the spectacular production of myths, legends, and ancient Chinese culture.”
