About the Author
Jingjing Xue grew up in China and graduated from the Acrobatic School of Shanghai in 1961. From 1961 to 1987, he was a star performer with the Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe and was considered one of China's best acrobats and one of the world's top performers in the art of the handstand. Jingjing also performed around the world with the Shanghai Circus, including for the likes of President Richard Nixon, President Jimmy Carter, and the king of Cambodia. In 1979 he began teaching performers in the troupe his advanced skills; teaching one student to win the championship of the 10th World Tomorrow Acrobatic Competition in Paris for his Juggling with Benches show and another to win Gold at the English Voyage Cup and Gold at the Stunt Programmes Competition in London. In the 1980s Jingjing became the instructor and coach of the troupe and was responsible for designing training programs at the school. He conducted valuable research into acrobatic training theories, publishing "How to Train Young Acrobats,&rdquo "Training of Handstand," and "Reform in Acrobatic Training," which contributed to improvements in acrobatic training programs in China. In the 1990s Jingjing left China for Australia. He worked at the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne, Australia, from its inception in 1999 through 2017. He lives in Melbourne.
