New York-based Shen Yun has a mission to revive 5,000 years of China’s divinely inspired culture.

Shen Yun ‘Magic’: Regional Vice President
Bob Donnelly, regional vice-president for Lincoln Financial, also attended the performance on May 5.
“My best memory is how the ladies would look like they are gliding across the floor with their little steps that they make with the long dresses—I thought that was magic,” said Mr. Donnelly.
Mr. Donnelly was also moved by the message of the performance.
“Uplifting because it’s got positive energy—it’s good over evil. That’s a powerful message,” Mr. Donnelly said.
