Since these early times, acrobatics have evolved into many various forms of popular performance including dance, opera, wushu, and sports. However, the impact of Chinese acrobatics goes beyond the boundaries of the stage as it plays an important role in the cultural exchange between China and Western nations such as the United States.

The citizens of China continue to present their acrobatic art to the world today, hoping to portray the hard working nature of their people and the rich traditions of the Chinese culture.

With performers trained in the rigorous art of acrobatics since early youth, the troupe has garnered international acclaim. We are proud to have been presented with several major awards over our company’s history including the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) Entertainer of the Year Award and the Campus Activities Today’s Performer of the Year Award.

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 widely popular until approximately 2,500 years ago when it began to capture the attention of the country’s powerful emperors.
