Archie had his second stage performance last week with the Blacksburg Chinese School. They once again sang "Dou Dou Long," which is the theme song from a Japanese cartoon that has been translated into Chinese. Archie's the shortest one in the red shirt.
This move with a partner was really tricky for a three-year-old, but he did a good job. His partner is almost five!!!
They had lots of fun hanging out backstage with the other performers. The Chinese American society put on the performance at the Graduate Center of Virginia Tech. They did a
Kung Fu Panda theme and did an excellent job staying with the movie.
Here's one of Archie's teachers. The other is the president of the Chinese American Association so she was kind of hard to catch backstage.
One of the best things about being backstage was that Memaw and Papa came to see them.
Archie also got to pose with this cool lion head.
The older girls from the Chinese school did a fan dance. It was really tricky, but they did a good job.

There was also a cool lantern dance performed by college students:
And this cool dance...Aren't the costumes pretty? Chinese are really into elaborate costumes for shows.
This was one of my favorite parts. It's a traditional lion dance. Two people are in each costume. I was glad they let the kids sit in the front row during the performance so they could see the other acts.
There was also a really cool Chinese yo-yo performance, but I didn't get any pics of it. I can't wait for next year!
