Attired in stunning costumes both traditional and contemporary, the troupe of 21 performers takes the stage in a show of agility, daring, athleticism and grace.

Today, more than 120 Chinese acrobatic troupes perform at above the “county level,” the Golden Dragons ranks amongst the most dazzling of the groups. Led by artistic/acrobatic director Danny Chang and his wife and business partner choreographer/costume designer Angela Chang, the troupe has earned countless awards and recognitions for its performances.
