Photos from Tour: Jump-Start to 2024 Season

Photos from Tour: Jump-Start to 2024 Season (Preview)

In the lobby of Boston's Wang Theatre, dancer Justin Shi spreads holiday cheer through open arms and high kicks.

Meanwhile, on stage, dancer Sam Pu elevates the festive atmosphere to new heights with a spectacular leap.

But great leaps and breathtaking technique don't come overnight; they're the result of years of dedicated practice. On a day off, dancers hone their balance and flexibility in the gym.

They were soon joined by principal dancer Nara Oose (at center), showcasing enviable arm strength and a stunning 180-degree split.

Enshrouded in the misty allure of Venice, Italy, our dancers find rhythm and balance atop a quaint bridge.

In Parma, Italy, Shen Yun graced the historical Teatro Regio, under a ceiling masterpiece by Giovan Battista Borghesi, painted in 1829. This artistic marvel, encircling a chandelier weighing an impressive 2,400 pounds, adds a breathtaking backdrop to every performance.

On the esteemed stage of Teatro Regio di Parma, our dancers stand poised to share with Parma the beauty of classical Chinese dance.

In the picturesque setting of Cagliari's Saint Remy Bastion, Italy, a dancer strikes a graceful pose. This iconic landmark, built in the late 19th century, offers a panoramic view of the Italian city.

After being on stage, dancing on the beach brings a refreshing change of pace, with the sky and water providing the perfect natural backdrop.

Cagliari offers a perfect mix of recreation and exploration options. Its five-mile-long Poetto Beach is among the best city beaches on the Mediterranean.

Over 6,000 miles away from Italy, the Shen Yun New York Company takes a moment to absorb the serene beauty of Chureito Pagoda, with Mount Fuji standing majestically in the background.

As the day begins to wane, the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji basks in the last of the sun's golden rays.

At 3,776 meters, Mount Fuji isn’t just Japan’s highest mountain; it's a sacred symbol deeply ingrained in the nation's cultural identity. And the Chureito Pagoda is famous for offering some of the best views of this iconic peak.

Nagoya may be an industrial powerhouse, but amidst its bustling streets lies the serene Osu Kannon Temple, a tranquil oasis of spirituality.

Kyoto, however, is the center of traditional Japanese culture. These dancers admire the resplendent Kinkaku-ji, a Zen Buddhist temple whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf.

In the spirit of the Chinese saying, “Food is the first necessity of man”（民以食为天）, our performers couldn't miss the chance to experience traditional Japanese cuisine.

Nothing brings people together like good food. Dancers gather around the warmth of a Japanese BBQ, savoring the flavors and enjoying a moment of companionship.

Of course, after indulging in a good meal, it's important to stay active! Here's dancer Jessica Si demonstrating how it's done, burning those calories with impressive splits right in her hotel room.

One way to fully immerse in the local culture is by donning its traditional attire. Amidst Kyoto's resplendent temples, shrines, and natural wonders, our musicians clad in elegant kimonos seamlessly blend into this historic city.

Our dancers, too, embrace traditional kimonos, gracefully posing in front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple's West Gate.

Dancer Jessica Si snatches a serene moment at Kiyomizu-dera Temple's North Gate. The name

Principal dancer Karina Fu poses at the vibrant red Myōjin Torii gate, one of the entrances to the historic Nezu Shrine. Established in 1705, it is one of Tokyo's oldest places of worship.

Karina Fu is charmed by a whimsical dragon sign in Dotonbori, Osaka's famed food street, which offers a feast not just for the tastebuds but also the eyes. The area is known for its dynamic advertising displays atop restaurants, ranging from colossal crab figures to luminous neon signs.

Next stop, the dazzling Namba—Osaka's premier entertainment district. What adventure do you think the dancers have embarked on this time?

After exploring the vibrant streets of Namba, these ladies try their hand at the ancient art of arrow shooting, channeling their inner female warriors.

As our 12-city tour of Japan nears its conclusion, we find ourselves in the serene snowscapes of Hokkaido. This tranquil beauty offers a moment of reflection and peace.

Across the Pacific Ocean, a dancer strikes an impressive pose, mirroring the towering grace of palm trees at Dayton Ohio's Schuster Performing Arts Center.

Shen Yun performers unite with Houston police cadets for a memorable group photo, bridging cultures and communities through the universal language of art.

While in Virginia Beach, the performers leave more than footprints in the sand—they etch '2024 Shen Yun' into the shore, promising a wave of performances to come.

Shen Yun Touring Company lands in San Juan, the lively capital of Puerto Rico!

The company enjoys a visit to the historic El Morro fortress in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is celebrated for its remarkable architecture and stunning ocean views.

All smiles under the Puerto Rican sun, Shen Yun Touring Company savors a day of sand and swim. The perk of being on a tropical island? Enjoying the beach even in January!

From the radiant smiles, it's clear: the day at the beach was nothing short of perfect.

In the vibrant Old San Juan district, known for its colorful buildings and lively streets, dancers beam with joy, adding their own splash of color to the charming scenery.

In between ten performances in Atlanta, USA, Shen Yun New Era Company sets off on a fizzy adventure for their day off. Can you guess where they are?

The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia, becomes the chosen destination! This favorite spot is where the history of The Coca-Cola Company bubbles to life, showcasing its global journey. It's a perfect blend of education and refreshment for a day off.

Members of Shen Yun International Company also delve into history, albeit of a different kind, down in Texas. They visit The Alamo, where the 18th-century Franciscan mission stands as a testament to bravery and freedom.

Of course, no exploration of American history is complete without paying a visit to the Washington Monument. Male dancers stand in awe before this towering tribute to the nation's first president.

Resting by the water's edge, members of Shen Yun International Company soak up the views under the geometric Main Street Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida.

Art meets agility: Shen Yun dancers add their own dynamic twist to the vibrant street art scene.
