          Troupe leaves fans aghast, delighted..
          Wise dragons kittenish lions and sprightly pandas appeared on campus. The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats performed Tuesday in Texas Hall to a captive audience kepint in their seats by strong bows, swords and knives. The performance opened with a dragon that seemed to have a fireball stuck in its throat, but no smoke or fire was seen. Later in the performance, fire encircled hoops of knives as brave, or stupid, male acrobats jumped through the lethal contraption blindfolded. The dazzling stars of the Shangri-La Chinese acrobats brought as much beauty and ectasy as the aurora borealis. The audience was enchanted by their magical spell and eagerly awaits their return.

          They seemed to defy every law of gravity.
          And in between, there was a few illusions, a bunch of stunts and alot of thrilling fun as the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats performed at the Strand Theater on Friday. A colorful Chinese dragon opened the show before two young girls peformed don't try this at home stunt that proably made some parents with children in the audience nervous. In one of a series of feats the pair performed, one of the girls laid on her back bouncing then spinning her younger partner around on her feet.
          Each feat was performed with precision and grace regardless of how much agility anc concentration it appeared to take. It was a fast-paced show that had to be seen to be believed. Collapse
