What is the Lion Dance?
Ornately decorated lion heads with bright wide eyes bob and dodge their way among the crowds at Chinese New Year's Parades worldwide. The lion expresses joy and happiness and is used to summon luck and good fortune. Lion dance troupes perform throughout the two-week Lunar New Year celebrations, often going from village to village. They also grace many other auspicious occasions such as wedding, planting or harvest time, religious ceremonies, or even at the launch of a new business.
