Lion dance (simplified Chinese: 舞狮; traditional Chinese: 舞獅; pinyin: wǔshī) is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture and other Asian countries in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume to bring good luck and fortune. The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other Chinese traditional, cultural and religious festivals. It may also be performed at important occasions such as business opening events, special celebrations or wedding ceremonies, or may be used to honour special guests by the Chinese communities.

​

We practice the Fo Shan style. It requires power in moves and strength in posture, using kung fu stances to help with the sharp movements and emotions. The lion becomes the representation of the kung fu school and only the most advanced students are allowed to perform.
