A group of 27 student performers from Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China will visit Olive Chapel Elementary Friday morning.
Raleigh is one of five cities to be visited by the Chinese students who are part of the Taipei Youth Folk Sports Group. The Chinese students will provide a performance for Olive Chapel Elementary third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students. The folk sports require focus, skill and athleticism. The students will demonstrate rope skipping, diabolo (Chinese yo-yo) spinning, kite flying, dragon and lion dances and top spinning.
The Chinese students whose average age is 11 were selected by their government to visit the U.S as ambassadors of cultural exchange and friendship.
They performed at the Exploris Museum in Raleigh Thursday afternoon.
