After a day of being pounded on by children, the wooden gym floor at Jane Addams Elementary School in Royal Oak gets a chance to relax as the plaintive sounds of violin and flute in Chinese music soothe the air. The music is a calming soundtrack for the 24 Oakland County residents, many seniors, as they glide slowly across the floor practicing a form of decades old Chinese martial arts.
The instructor, 54-year-old Han Hoong Wang, moved to Royal Oak in 1986 in order to give her daughter educational opportunities she didn't have in China. That's when Wang began teaching Yang Style Tai Chi here.
