“Thank you for a wonderful display … the Chinese Embassy said it was the best they had seen in the UK”
The core members of this talented company have been professionally trained in China from an early age and each has had a minimum of twenty years experience in the development of their art. The company has performed all over the world and has won Bronze, Silver and Gold medals in national competitions in China.
Combining the latest developments in Chinese acrobatics with contemporary trends in western circus and dance, the London Chinese Acrobatics has created a uniquely exciting style of performance that will enthral the whole family.
“Everything was done supremely elegantly and harmoniously, with the colours of the costumes, props and stage often creating wonderful effects of their own…”
