How are Shen Yun dancers paid? Hear it from the artists

How you finance? And also,

is it transparent what you pay your

artist? I'm just curious.

>> So, Shen Yun is very different from

other performing arts companies that

have loud large endowments from donors

and things like that. It's ticket sales.

That's the model that we followed the

entire time. You see our billboards

everywhere. There are memes about how

our billboards are everywhere. I think

there was one about a Tibetan who

escaped the world and got the Tibetan

got a Shen Yun flyer.

We all had a good laugh at that because

that that our marketing team works

really hard.

And they they do do that. Now, our

performers who are part of Shen Yun or

Shen Yun performers are salaried. I'm

salaried. I didn't come here for the

money, but I am salaried.

Our students who are performers,

they are students of Fei Tian Academy of

the Arts or Fei Tian College are not

salaried just like athletes in NCAA,

let's say. They are on full scholarship.

Everybody at Fei Tian the schools is on

full scholarship whether they're touring

or not.

We estimate that's about $50,000 worth a

year. That includes their travel, their

study expenses, their room and board,

everything like that. And when they

graduate, they graduate debt-free and

often almost always directly have a

chance to test into the company and

become fully salaried

performers.
