Shen Yun Performing Arts ("Shen Yun" 神韻) is a live dance and music performance that tours theaters around the world, though notably not in mainland China where performers and their families have faced persecution for their faith.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.shenyunperformingarts.org/news/view/article/e/j5ub_z6mpGc/steven-wang-mother-persecution-in-china.html|title=Beyond the Dance: Real Persecution in China}}</ref> Shen Yun celebrates Chinese civilization, particularly its spirituality and cultural diversity. Performances feature classical Chinese dance, ethnic and folk dance, story-based dance, and an orchestra that uses both classical Western and Eastern instruments.
