Preview: Shen Yun mixes politics with Chinese classical dance in its performances

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Over the years, Pittsburgh has seen many performers from China, beginning with the Silk Road Dance Theater in 1982 and moving through the decade-long reign of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre principal dancers Ying Li and Jiabin Pan. The ensembles always attract large audiences, defining an existing appetite for all things Chinese. Now Shen Yun Performing Arts, a relatively new (2006) New York City-based group, is capitalizing on that appetite with four performances at the Benedum Center this weekend.
