SFUSD: Classical Chinese Dance and Music Shows
Shen Yun Performing Arts presents classical Chinese dance and music in gloriously colorful and exhilarating shows. An art form several millennia old, Chinese dance is refreshingly dynamic and expressive. Ancient legends and heroic figures come to life through its leaps, spins, and delicate gestures.
See what people are saying about the performance and look for local shows at ShenYunPerformingArts.org
