An elite dancer must master many skills; and a whole lot more goes into being a good person—Shindy Cai believes there’s a strong connection between the two.
Cai and half a dozen other dancers and musicians with Shen Yun Performing Arts recently shared with The Epoch Times their journey on the path toward virtue and virtuosity.
Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company. Its eight troupes tour the world, performing for about a million people every year at some of the most prestigious theaters.
Some Shen Yun performers start to tour with the company while in their teens, as part of their studies, thanks to a special arrangement with two affiliated schools, Fei Tian College and Fei Tian Academy of the Arts.
“Being here at Shen Yun, being here at Fei Tian for all these years has really shaped me as a person, who I am,” said Steven Song, a Shen Yun violinist.
