For the second part of the celebration, professional acrobat Lina Liu came back to Dalton after her performance for Lunar New Year last year, sharing traditional handkerchief spinning acrobatics. At the end of her performance, several students were invited to the stage to take on the challenge of plate spinning. The celebration ended with excitement and applause!
