HISTORY OF THE ART

The history of Chinese Acrobats dates back 2,500 years. A tradition of innovation has evolved from the time of the earliest dynasties, with new and ever more daring acts constantly being developed. But certain things remain unchanged from those early days… the affected style of performing, the pure skill of the artists, and the joy the acrobats bring to their performances.

 introduce kids to the Chinese culture. Exquisite artistry and

beauty is the hallmark of these award-winning athletes.”
