Lion Dance Demonstration Team

Lion Dance has been part of China's Culture for over 1,500 Years. It is one highlight that has been used for generations to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The Lion Dance is also used for other celebrations too such marriages, business openings, fairs, recognition of anniversaries. This is because the Lion Dance is considered as a blessing. In one historical story it was believed that the Lion is a courages and honorouble animal, which is also a mystical pet of the gods, came to a village and protected it against evil. One day the Lion had to leave and and it was not able to protect the village any longer, but the villagers came up with an idea to make their own look alike Lion from bamboo and papermache. Brave and energetic martial artists were asked to dance in the Lion Costume. Dancing in the costume took a huge amount of physical work, coordination, and skills to bring out the characteristics of the Lion.

To this day the Lion Dance is part of China's heritage and is believed that it is a great honour to have a Lion Dance performed for your event or celebration.
