What a treat as we watched these young performers from China, Korea, France, Italy and Jordan fill our minds with colorful dances of acrobatic skills. Their precision and trust in their teammates created a thrilling epic worthy of a story in the making. The youngest in the middle is 14 years old and their prize performer. He has a sense of balance that defies gravity and he gives pleasure to his performance as well as his audience. He has no fear only confidence in his abilities. I wondered who taught them, how did they create an unfearing demeanor and who designed their costumes? There were also request for the "music" of the night, but it was not ready for sale at this time. The oriental style of sound blended beautifully into the symphony style of the Old Masters renditions of "a love for what they do". My husband whispered to me in one scene, "I feel like I am watching a live cartoon", as the colors were so vibrant and the costumes so animated that we hardly felt the 75 minutes of the show. Near the end I was exhausted from watching their daring antics and when two warrior types were climbing two moving exercise wheels that reached the top of this huge stage at Navy Pier I gave in to looking down-but just for a few minutes. 
Our friends enjoyed themselves and we hope they share the memories of this night with others-it is our job to look out for one another and this team of stunning performers has a bright future in store for them.

It is a great family night as you can see from this soldiers smile as he stands ready to guard his turf. There is no intermission and readmission is not allowed. For further information please visit NavyPier.com.
