Captivating audiences with showmanship of ancient skills such as the Dancing Plates, the Diablo Yo-Yo and the Tower of Chairs, they tame gravity and fear with feats of balancing, tumbling and startling gymnastic wizardry.

The ancient art of Chinese Acrobatics is an old and long running tradition that began in China well over two thousand years ago. Over its long and rich history it has developed as one of the most popular art forms among the Chinese people. While many historical records provide evidence for the development of Chinese acrobatics as far back as the Xia Dynasty (4000 years ago), it is most commonly held that the art form did not become wildly popular until approximately 2,500 years ago when it began to capture the attention of the country's powerful emperors.
