“The teachers all said it was the best assembly they’ve ever had at the school. Excellent reviews from the students as well; they were engaged the entire time. Li Liu was magnificent and very talented! ESL Teacher, Shaner School Li Lui was professional, personable, and fun. The students and teachers really enjoyed the show. We were all amazed with her performance. It was nice that she used volunteers from our audience. She also included some background info about herself, the tradition of acrobatics, and about Chinese traditions. It was really well-done! Art Instructor, Cornwall Elementary This program was amazing. Children in pre-K to grade 8 were transfixed, teachers and parents called it "the best show we have ever had," and the artist was a delight.”
