HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2008!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Here is a link to the Genting Lion Dance competiton 10 years ago that I can spend hours at. Each link is a different part of the performances.

I am mesmerized by Lion Dancers. To coordinate two people under that heavy costume to do acrobatics on posts and wires..then top it off with having to do puppeteer work inside the lion on such a massive scale…I have great respect and admiration.

The gestures and mannerisms of the individual “lions” make me laugh out loud. You cannot help but smile watching lion dancing. The clanging festive music just adds to the excitement.
