Chinese Acrobats Visit Seth Boyden School

An entertaining and culturally educational experience was brought to students by the PTA.

Seth Boyden Elementary School students were dazzled and amazed on Thursday, Dec. 1 by the performance of the Fabulous Chinese Acrobats from Beijing.

Three young women and one young man, ages 16 through 21, juggled balls, balanced plates, and performed incredible acrobatic stunts before a rapt audience. The young performers' feats of balance, flexibility, coordination and strength were thrilling to the children. The troupe's leader offered history and cultural context to help explain this Chinese art form.

This assembly was brought to the children by the Seth Boyden PTA.
