THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.—BP Major is a singer, dancer, and actor. Seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts on March 25, 2025, he was pleased to share that the performance was wonderful.

“The show is wonderful. It’s very spectacular, it’s so colorful. The dancers are dynamic. There’s a wonderful technique. I love the choreography,” BP Major said.

Shen Yun is based in New York and its mission is to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, China before communism.

“I feel like it’s a beautiful journey through Chinese history. I hope I’m right because that’s what I’m getting. And I think it’s just a stunning way to tell the story and the history about a country,” BP Major said.

Shen Yun’s artists are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.

“The flexibility is really impressive. I’m a little jealous, to be honest, because I don’t think I could possibly ever dance like that, even when I was dancing,” BP Major said.

As someone with an impressive history of dance, BP Major could see how Shen Yun’s dancers could tell stories without the use of words.

“I think that everybody does a great job telling the story through their face as well as their body. And that’s important. So when you’re dancing, it’s not just about movement. It’s also telling the story through your entire body. So I think your dancers do a beautiful job of telling the story, but through the face, through their emotion and through their bodies,” he said.

Every year, Shen Yun puts on an all-new production. The resident choreographers, composers, and everyone else involved in production work together to bring the best of Chinese culture to the world.

“I think that is wonderful. I think the dancers, the choreographers, your entire team is doing such a great job of bringing this Chinese culture to the world. And I think it’s incredibly important for the dancers to be able to express their art this way and to be able to tell your story,” BP Major said.

In many of Shen Yun’s stories, there is an ongoing theme of filial piety and loyalty.

“There’s a family element, and I like the connection between the heaven and the earth. There’s different stories going on between up here and down here, which I think is fascinating. And yes, I think it’s a beautiful journey and a beautiful, colorful story,” BP Major said.

Shen Yun’s use of its digital backdrop is patented. The versatility of technology allows the set to change scenes in the blink of an eye, giving the stage endless possibilities.

“I especially love the 3D element. I love when they run off the back, jump down, and appear up on the screen,” BP Major shared.
