“It’s a show of traditional of Chinese dance, culture and stories … I enjoyed it very much,” said Mr. Majka.
Shen Yun enriched of his knowledge of Chinese culture, said Mr. Majka, building on what he learned in having Chinese friends, a daughter that teaches at a Chinese-American school, and some small encounters with Chinese culture.
Since it’s founding in 2006, New York-based Shen Yun has been a cornerstone of the revival of traditional Chinese culture, according to Shen Yun. It has grown to three performance companies and orchestras of comparable size, traveling around the world simultaneously.
