Corporate Events Lion Dance
Service Description
Characteristics of Lion Dance Traditional lion dances usually feature the following: Two practitioners: In the traditional lion dance, two lion dancers operate the costume—one dancer as the lion’s head and front legs, and the other as the rear end and back legs. They dance in coordination to make it appear as if they make up the body of one lion. Stylized costume: The lion dance costume is an ornate and stylized creation, ranging in appearance from Foo dogs to dragons. Artisans use several different materials to create a lion costume, including fur, wood, bamboo, aluminum, papier-mâché, cloth, paint, lacquer, and bows. Percussive instruments: Dancers typically perform lion dance to fast-paced music with a heavy drumbeat and cymbals, creating a high-energy atmosphere of celebration and good fortune. Choreographed performance: Typical lion dance is a choreographed performance, with the lion dance team working in tandem to create the illusion of the lion. Choreography varies by region—in Northern lion style, dancers incorporate kung-fu moves and acrobatics. In Southern lion style, choreography may aim to mimic lion behaviors like grooming and scratching.
