PALM DESERT, Calif.—The world’s premier Chinese classical dance and music company, Shen Yun Performing Arts, played at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert on April 30, to the delight of Nicole Kanahele-Stutz who had waited to see the performance for many years.
“It was wonderful … and it was everything I thought it would be,” said the professor of English composition.
Shen Yun translates as “the beauty of divine beings dancing.”
“I think that’s exactly what it is,” Ms. Kanahele-Stutz said. “When everything comes together for the dancers you can tell that they feel beautiful.”
New York-based Shen Yun is made up of seven companies that travel throughout the world with a mission of reviving China’s true traditional culture as it was before communism.
