LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Shen Yun Performing Arts received a warm welcome at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 6 and 7, taking the audience on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Audience members were in awe of the performers’ artistry and skill.

“It is like watching Divine beings dancing. How do you even do this, it’s so cool,” Kendall Malcomb, an audio visual technician, said. “I’ve seen it like five times now, so I’m kind of addicted, but it inspires me to still be kind, even though the world’s a little tough right now.”

Mike O’Connell, a bank branch manager, said, “Normally when you see dancers, there’s jumping up and down. These people just float on the stage, it’s amazing. Amazing, colorful, very interesting.”

Kade Malcomb, a pilot, said, “I especially love the live [orchestra], the musicians. They did a great job. And I love the entire set, the choreography, all of it was great. I loved it.”

Through story-based dance, Shen Yun aims to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and values, from the time of “China before communism.” Since the Chinese communist regime took power in 1949, it has sought to break Chinese society’s belief in the Divine.

Ms. Malcomb said, “I think it’s very important. I don’t think any people should be erased from this Earth. I think they should hold on to what their ancestors fought for and what they keep alive for themselves, because what our ancestors did before us helped get us to where we are. So I think honoring that and keeping that alive is very important.”

Mr. Malcomb said, “I really resonate with the traditional values that I think the show clearly has a lot of roots in, and I think that’s really important for our society today, even here in America.”

Jim Crimi, an optician, said, “I thought the show was absolutely fantastic, and we can’t wait to come back again.”

“I’m definitely going to tell my friends to come and see this. It was great. I loved every moment of it,” Mr. Malcomb said.

Shen Yun will be performing in Columbus, Montgomery, Pittsburgh, and many other cities in March as it continues its 2026 world tour.
