三: number 3 in Chinese—pronounced sān.
3 days left until Shen Yun's 2018 season begins! Here, dancers do splits to form the Chinese character for 3, conveniently made by 3 straight lines—it's a simple pose for dancers and an essential part of their warmup routine. It takes them no more than 3 (X10) minutes to do hair and stage makeup so they can start warming up for the performance!
