      What does ‘Shen Yun’ mean?

      “Shen” means divine or divinity, and “Yun” means feeling or rhythm. What would it be like if beautiful beings came down from the heavens and danced before your eyes? That’s the idea.

      Shen Yun means, “The beauty of heavenly beings dancing.” Sounds magical, right? It is!
