CLAREMONT, Calif.—Andrea Swann, a research and prospect management director, attended a performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts on March 11 at Bridges Auditorium at Pomona College. “It’s been very beautiful,” she said. “I love hearing [about] the culture and the history. I’m loving seeing the different dances because I didn’t know much about China going into this.”
Based in New York, Shen Yun was founded in 2006 by leading Chinese artists and quickly became the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company. Shen Yun’s mission is to revive traditional Chinese culture.
Ms. Swann noted the beautiful costumes of the performance. “I assume they’re silk, the way they flow and with the long sleeves. [They’re] very beautiful.”…
