ShaoLin Center is hosting a Community Open House on November 10th and 11th. Two days of festivities are planned to formally dedicate the school at 400 Travis Lane, raise funds for the Milwaukee Area Families with Children from China, and offer free classes to showcase yoga, qigong, tai chi chuan and traditional kung fu. Many fun and culturally interesting activities will be featured, including martial arts demos, lion dances, dedication ceremonies and a performance by Chris Schmidt Acoustic – a talented pair of musicians from Waukesha.
