What is Lion Dance?

Lion Dance is a traditional Asian dance that mimics a lion's movements. The dance is usually performed by two dancers, one operating the lion costume's head and the other operating the tail. Lion Dance is usually performed during special events such as the Lunar New Year, business openings, and weddings to bring good luck. Musicians accompany the dancers with loud drums, gongs, and cymbals to help drive away evil spirits. Please note that the noise may be surprising or scary for children.
