BEAVER CREEK — China's premiere acrobatic touring company, the Golden Dragon Acrobats, bring high-flying family fun to the Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) in Beaver Creek Saturday with performances at 4:30 and 8 p.m.
The Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats combine acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes, ancient and contemporary music and theatrical techniques to present a show of skill filled with and beauty.
Now marking over 30 years of continuous touring, the members of the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats are actors, athletes and artists, with a passion for their art. With performers trained since early youth, their feats of physical daring and grace continue to entertain audiences of all ages.
The ancient art of Chinese acrobatics is an old and long-running tradition that began in China well over 2,000 years ago. 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, it is most commonly held that the art form did not become wildly popular until approximately 2,500 years ago when it began to capture the attention of the country's powerful emperors.
Contemporary acrobat troupes have served the role of becoming a part of the culture exchange between China and other western nations. Acrobatic art best portrays the hard working, endurance and courage emphasized among the Chinese culture.
Tickets for Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats are $42 for adults and $32 for children. Choose seats online at vilarpac.org, by phone at 888-920-ARTS(2787) or in person at the Vilar Center box office in Beaver Creek or Marketplace Box Office in Vail Village.

The cost is $10 per person (round-trip) or $40 for a family of four or more (round-trip.) For more information, call 888-920-ARTS(2787).
