What is Lion Dancing?
The Chinese lion is the spirit and pride of the traditional Kung Fu school. The lion dance is a Chinese folk tradition performed during holidays and important functions to dispell evil influences and hence make way for wealth and prosperity. The famous chinese writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" tells of four famous martial artists: Kwan Yu, Chang Fei, Lu Pei, and Loi Bo. It is these four characters the chinese lions are modeled after. Each has its own unique personality and color (red, black, white and rainbow).
A Lion Dance troup is made up of a drummer, a gong player and as many as four cymbal players (various sized cymbals), one dancer in the lion's head and one in the tail.
