Turn on your volume! Hear why artists and audience members everywhere are falling in love with Shen Yun. “Spectacular... a joyous celebration" —Theatre Scene | Shen Yun

You’ve likely seen these posters for Shen Yun, the global dance sensation. They’ve been performing for 20 years in some of the biggest auditoriums around the world. But recently, some former performers have been speaking up, alleging abuse and untreated injuries. When we contacted Shen Yun for an interview, they did something they’ve never done before: they let our cameras inside their guarded headquarters in the woods of New York to see where they train. Lisa Ling has the story this morning. ht

Since ancient times, the purpose of art has been to uplift and inspire. The arts served as a direct connection between heaven and earth, and sought to capture the beauty of the divine. In this clip, principal dancer Elsie Shi takes us behind the scenes of Shen Yun as the dancers prepare for an all-new season. Reflecting the purity and divinity of a celestial maiden, Shi shows us the delicacy and beauty of traditional Chinese dance. | Shen Yun
