Artist Profile: Shen Yun Principal Dancer Michelle Lian’s Magic Within the Movements
Michelle Lian is a natural dancer. When she was younger, she thought dancing was fun and picked it up, trying on a few different styles. When she thinks back, she says that classical Chinese dance has been with her for a very long time. When she lost interest in other forms, she went back to classical Chinese dance.
Eventually, Lian focused all her time and energy on developing fully in classical Chinese dance, perfecting the moves and pursuing refinement of the art in her career, all while retaining the joy of it.
