Miami, Florida (PRWEB) February 03, 2017 -- South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center and Culture Shock Miami co-present The Peking Acrobats® in a return 2-performance engagement on Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM on the Main Stage of the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center. Direct from Beijing, China's most gifted tumblers, contortionists, jugglers, cyclists, and gymnasts perform their 2,000-year-old tradition of acrobatics complemented by live musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments.

Those who saw The Peking Acrobats two years ago, when they last performed at South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, can be assured that they will see new, exciting acts and innovative twists on old favorites on this tour, celebrating thirty years of awesome entertainment in the 2016-17 season, the Year of the Rooster! For their 30th Anniversary Tour, The Peking Acrobats will be pulling out all the stops, and marking this incredible milestone with their most memorable production to date.

When The Peking Acrobats returned to Broadway in New York City, they made headlines. Their sold-out three-week engagement in New York thrilled audiences of all ages. Here are just some highlights from their reviews:

The things these kids can do before breakfast... seem to push the envelope of human possibility. If daring and dexterity turn you on, this is a show that will probably twist you around in your
seat. . . it's amazing and exciting. Clive Barnes, New York Post

Amazing! Zounds! The vocabulary of exclamation seeks expression as the medium of awed and surprised reaction to the wondrous feats of The Peking Acrobats! In their graceful efforts.. .these brightly costumed tumblers, acrobats, cyclists, jugglers and clever clowns provide 90 minutes of family fun that infuses springtime in New York with an extra measure of joy." Lawrence van Gelder, New York Times

Full price tickets are $20 to $35. These tickets are available online at SMDCAC.org or through the SMDCAC box office by calling 786-573-5300.

ABOUT THE PEKING ACROBATS

For the last 30 years, The Peking Acrobats® have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs; they are experts at trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. They push the envelope of human possibility with astonishing juggling dexterity and incredible balancing feats, showcasing tremendous skill and ability. They are masters of agility and grace. Often accompanied by live musicians skillfully playing traditional Chinese instruments and high-tech special effects that coalesce with the music and awe-inspiring feats to create an exuberant entertainment event featuring all the excitement and festive pageantry of a Chinese Carnival! With their 2016-17 North American Tour, The Peking Acrobats® celebrate 30 years of awesome entertainment with their fans, young and old, in the Year of the Rooster!

The Peking Acrobats have been featured on numerous television shows and celebrity-studded TV Specials including Nickelodeon's Unfabulous, Ellen's Really Big Show (TV Special with host, Ellen DeGeneres), The Wayne Brady Show, That's Incredible, ABC’S Wide World Of Sports as well as NBC's Ring In The New Year Holiday Special. The Peking Acrobats are on the cutting edge of technology, having appeared on HDNET TV'S In Focus Series. Since Summer 2011, they have appeared regularly in 3D on NBC/Comcast's new 3D Channel! The Peking Acrobats are excited and honored to have been selected by HDNet and NBC/Comcast to be among the first performing ensembles of their kind to participate in such innovative technologies as the high definition and 3D television formats. These appearances reaffirm The Peking Acrobats commitment to bringing their unique and ancient art form and tradition into the 21st Century!

ABOUT CULTURE SHOCK MIAMI ( http://www.CULTURESHOCKMIAMI.COM )

CULTURE SHOCK MIAMI, a program of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, is designed to introduce the next generation of audience members to live arts and cultural experiences at the age when they are beginning to make their own entertainment decisions.
