An Intro to Lion Dance

The lion dance is a traditional style of dance performed in Chinese culture and is usually an integral part of most Chinese Kung Fu schools.

Why perform lion dances

Lion dances are mostly performed around the time of Chinese New Year, as a means of symbolizing the wishing of good fortune and celebration of the new year. However, lion dances serve many other purposes such as blessing a business with good fortune, sanctioning the grand-opening of a building, and celebratory events like the anniversary of an establishment, or even a birthday party.
