About Lion Dance
Originating from China, lion dances are traditionally performed during celebrations to bring good luck. Events include the Lunar New Year, grand openings of businesses, weddings, and other holidays. Two dancers operate the lion to the beating of drums, cymbals, and gongs. Lion dances are often performed by martial arts schools as the movements crossover with martial arts training.
Our Wu An Martial Arts lion dance flavor is a mixture of modern elements with traditional movements from our White Crane lineage.
Performances
Students enrolled in the lion dance program are not guaranteed to perform. Performers are selected for each performance based on their skill, attendance, and character.
