See the Jeweled Dragon Acrobats at Epcot

In China, it is customary for aspiring athletes and acrobats to begin training and preparation at a very early age. The dream is to audition and be selected to join a professional acrobat troupe. The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats are such a troupe and they have just launched a year-long engagement at Epcot, arriving directly from China. Consisting of six men and two women, all between 18 and 21 years old, the talented performers have been together as a troupe for three years.

These gifted acrobats perform five shows daily, five days a week in the China courtyard and showcase extraordinary feats of strength, agility and balance. I discovered this amazing troupe yesterday afternoon and am displaying a small gallery of snapshots to whet your appetite. Did I say amazing?

  • March 31, 2012 Arts International is held on the campus of Francis Marion University. The Jeweled looks look great. I know that they have a year long contract with you, however I didn’t know when that year ends. Is there anyway to get contact information if not for this year for future festivals. Thank you for your time.

  • My daughter and I watched them last week. We thought they were “new” to Disney because they were not there last year. It is a great show and a fantastic opportunity to relax for 20 minutes or so. You will be amazed at how limber the girls are and the strength the men have.

  • I saw them perform last wednesday. They are great!

  • Great pictures! Can’t wait to see them in December!
