Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe of China

The Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe of China has been perfecting traditional Chinese acrobatic skills and merging them with modern dance, artistic gymnastics, theatre and other forms. The group has created its own artistic style representing the Guangdong region of southern China and you have the opportunity to experience it for one night only at the Bliss. On Friday night, the Guangzhou troupe, which has won over eighty awards in major competitions, will be putting off what promises to be an exquisite performance to raise funds for a local charity. News Five got the details from the chairman of the Belize Chinese Association, Edmund Quan.

“We’re having a group of Chinese acrobats from mainland china and they’re coming in to do a show on Friday night at the Bliss Institute for Charity. The show is going to start at seven-thirty. They’re going to different countries—it’s a collaboration between the Panamanian Chinese Association and the Belize Chinese association.”
