Current Shen Yun Dancer Reacts to People Magazine’s Article on the 'Controversial' Dance Group

What is Shen Yun really about—and did People Magazine get it right?

As a current dancer with Shen Yun, I wanted to respond directly to a recent article by People that described the company as “controversial.” In this video, I offer my personal perspective and views to this article as someone touring with Shen Yun today.

Whether you're a curious viewer, a past audience member, or just heard about our "controversy" in the media, I hope this helps shed light on who we actually are and what we actually stand for.
