About The Peking Acrobats: "Since their Western debut in 1986, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. Performing daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs, they are experts at treacherous wire-walking, trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting and gymnastics, and they defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility and control. The Peking Acrobats push the envelope of human possibility with astonishing juggling dexterity and incredible balancing feats, showcasing tremendous skill and ability. Often accompanied by live musicians skillfully playing traditional Chinese instruments, The Peking Acrobats perform awe-inspiring feats to create an exuberant entertainment event featuring all the excitement and festive pageantry of a Chinese Carnival."
The Peking Acrobats have been featured on numerous television shows and celebrity-studded television specials, including Nickelodeon's Unfabulous, Ellen's Really Big TV Show (with host Ellen DeGeneres), The Wayne Brady Show, That's Incredible, ABC's Wide World of Sports and NBC's Ring in the New Year Holiday Special.
