About The Golden Dragon Acrobats
For more than twenty-seven centuries Chinese acrobats have been thrilling audiences, making it the “longest running” folk art form in history.  In China acrobats are revered much the same way prima ballerinas and opera singers are in the West.  The performers of the GOLDEN DRAGON ACROBATS represent the best of this honored tradition, mixing award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes and ancient and contemporary theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and spellbinding beauty.
