2020 Photos from Tour: 2/17–2/23 (Preview)

Guess where Shen Yun performers are headed?
(Photo by Tony Xue)

That's right, the beach. Performers find a vacant spot among the sun loungers in St. Petersburg, Florida. (Photo by Jeff Chuang)

Clearly, this is a post-performance beach trip. (Photo by Tony Xue)

There isn't much time left before the sun goes down. Dancers hurriedly take to the air, just for the fun of it. (Photo by Tony Xue)

Principal Dancer Alvin Song joins in. (Photo by Tony Xue)

These Shen Yun ladies seem at one with the ocean waves. (Photo by Annie Li)

Principal Dancer Xiaohung Lin leaps across the sand. (Photo by Kexin Li)

This dance pose, the tàn hǎi (探海), is perfect for the beach since it is supposed to closely resemble overlooking the sea.

Dancer Connie Kuang wraps herself around the glowing sun.

Presenting... the gorgeous Florida sunset. (Photo by Joey Chou)

It's been an all around great day for the group—the choreographer approves. (Photo by Tony Xue)

The group enjoys the sunset so much they might just try to take it with them when they leave. (Photo by Jeff Chuang)

Proof that Shen Yun was here. (Photo by Tony Xue)

The sun sets on the Gulf of Mexico. (Photo by Nick Zhao )

St. Petersburg's Mahaffey Theater, the waterfront theater that held seven Shen Yun performances this tour. (Photo by Tony Xue)

A local overlooking Tampa Bay. (Photo by Tony Xue)

The theater's fountains (much more impressive when running) are surrounded by palm trees and a view of the bay. (Photo by Tony Xue)

Don't worry, they follow the rules—still poses are allowed. (Photo by Tony Xue)

The group finds time to enjoy the beach once more while the sun is out. St. Petersburg has the Guinness World Record title of most consecutive days with sunshine at 768 days! On average, this beach sees 361 sunny days each year. (Photo by Monty Mou)

Dancer Jackie Pun cools off by flipping in the water. (Photo by Alvin Song)

The sandy beach doesn't hold back the dancers from getting good height.

Dancer Madeline Lobjois poses on the pristine white sand. This white sand is mostly quartz crystals that have been washed down from places like the Appalachian mountains and into the Gulf of Mexico. (Photo by Annie Li)

All that flipping and jumping builds up an appetite.

The group hits the bowling alley for some friendly competition. (Photo by Tony Xue)

St. Petersburg, we'll definitely be back! (Photo by Tony Xue)
