Get Ready for the Year of the Horse!
The Jow Ga Shaolin Institute is home to one of the most respected traditional Chinese Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, Kung Fu, and Tai Chi demonstration teams.

We are available for special events and celebrations, such as Lunar New Year festivities, banquets, parades, weddings, grand openings, anniversaries, school multicultural events, and even birthday parties.
