Costa Mesa is proud to welcome back Shen Yun Performing Arts! Shen Yun creates an unforgettable performance of classical Chinese dance, combining the cultures of the East and West. Every year, Shen Yun unveils an entirely new lineup of dances, songs, and musical scores. At the core of Shen Yun’s performances is classical Chinese dance with China’s numerous ethnic and folk dance styles rounding out the evening.

In its first season in 2006, the company performed for some 200,000 people. In 2007-2008, the number swelled to 600,000. The show has visited some of the most prestigious stages in the world, from the Royal Festival Hall in London to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. After reaching the 1 million-guest mark in 2010, it is now a 100-city, 30-country phenomenon, including 350 performances worldwide.

Shen Yun (meaning the “Beauty of Divine Beings Dancing”) is the first international touring group to present classical Chinese dance to the world on a large scale. Shen Yun offers an amazing world-class production on a grand scale and exquisite performances that celebrate the excellence of classical Chinese dance and music inspired by the myths, legends, and divine beauty of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture. An art form several thousand years old, Chinese dance is dynamic and emotional. A Shen Yun performance features 100 world class performers, over 400 sets of exquisite hand-made costumes and a unique orchestra blending East and West.

Shen Yun will again have their shows at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in 2015, from January 29 to February 1. You can buy Shen Yun Costa Mesa tickets now!

Costa Mesa hotels offer special amenities to Chinese visitors such as tea service, slippers and traditional Chinese breakfast. All Costa Mesa hotels are within just a few miles of South Coast Plaza, with over 250 designer stores and 30 restaurants.
