I remember watching performances like this every Chinese New Year in my hometown. They fascinated me but I was a bit scared of them. When they came too close I would hide behind my Dad.
Nothing to be afraid of. They just want to play and if you touch their fur you can have good luck.
Same here. I used to live in singapore and every chinese new year, my local chinese neighbors always performed the lion dance right below our apartments (or what we call HBD flats)
I had a dream last night; A blue lion enters the house dancing around and I hid the stockroom folding myself with the blanket and the blue lion went upstairs dancing around, i was hoping that it won't find me. I was so scared.
Here some facts about these lion dance
The reason the lion dance does this is usually to give luck and also the reason why they called lion dance even the custom doesn’t look like a lion is bc each part of the lion have a meaning that represents luck like A lion has a eye of a Phoenix to symbolize Virtue
A lion has a long beard of a Dragon to symbolize Intelligence
A lion has a Brodhead of a shell of a tortoise to symbolize Wisdom & Longevity
A lion has a sharp teeth of a white Tiger to Symbolize strength & Courage
and they dance for 1500 years
They was invented in QuangDong China
The real Lion dancer always trust each other no matter how hard it is this is a example of Courage
Sometime these lion bring people together
Ik more but I don’t feel like typing all bc it alot and I watch lion dance for 13 years and im 13
And have a great day
It looks like a playful puppy!! 🐶💕
i used to be so terrified of lion dances like i would hide in the bathrooms 😭
Looks like a perfect depiction of how a Shihtzu reacts when they are super happy after getting a really yummy treat! I'm sure that's no coincidence! I showed my little lion boy and he was mesmerized!
Used to see the lion dance every chinese new yr as a kid. Loved it. Still do. Ah the memories
Dang why all the dislikes, this is great.
I was wondering that myself, as it seems to be the case on more than one video like this, but looking at the comments, it seems a lot of people were scared of them when they were younger, so if I had to hazard a guess - it might be because they associate it with that? I guess sort of like clowns for some people. I don't find them scary at all - cute if anything, and agree this is great.
We can see the Lion dance at our school whenever is Chinese New Year :3
To be honest when i look at the chinese lion i just imagine a playful puppy
imagine tripping over when walking under that huge costume...

youngster891 Excuse me, but this is a lion, which only requires 2 people. Dragons require 8 or more people
This scared me as a kid

#but you already proof it.well done.

Thank you for the video. This is the kind of costume I remember as a kid. Google search results doesnt do this justice.

if you want to be a small dragon, you can do a single person, but the dragon will be smaller

No it doesn't. The people in this video are too bad at lion dance. This video shows the lousy side of lion dance. Here's some videos to help:

Thx for uploading!
Wow, China has awesome dance traditions. =D
And this is not just a dance, it is also a sport. Malaysia hosts the world international lion dance championship in genting. Many troupes from all over the world including Malaysia's Kun Seng Keng, the lion dance champion winning over 30 championships in a row, and United States' White Crane, the "Western Lion King".

The drummers in the back are kinda eh, the dance was not bad, but honestly the best is the costume, the best I have ever seen
I went to see a lion dance live with my mom my aunt and my cousin when I was little it was ace
Hey, very good!
I like dragon dAce i’ve been practicing
My sifu told me to watch this for my kung fu class 🥋
I wish in the middle of the dance. The lions would grow wings and fly into the sun and explode! Also 8:33 is my favourite bit in the video. NOICE GARY! The car nose dived, down the ditch with Eddie at the wheel. He screamed out the window "THE CAR IS MOVING!!" *CRASH* Dead! R.I.P EDDIE
Happy new year
nice mechanics to move the face china has so interesting way to make stuff look traditional aswell as modern
Good
It's really a dragon dance but ok
It is actually a lion dance which generally has one or two participants. A dragon dance requires a much bigger costume and more people
I like their dance is the best ever
They're performing in a council office waiting area
ummmmm.........
i think this is the at my school at chinese new year and when the drummers practice it, we all play tag
wow Chinese people are smart I like them masalllah
Najima Ali was not making a racist comment. you were stereotyping by assuming he was. I think the people that find the need to make comments like that are jealous and think they are superior to others. perhaps they have mommy issues. although, just an example that is stereotyping. does it make you feel uneasy? sorry about that. I'm sure you didn't intend to do that to him. he's right, they are smart. just because he didn't name every group he feels is smart, doesn't mean that he was stereotyping. get a life.
I love the first amendment.
p.s. not stereotyping. I like all of them but this one fits right now.
yay f0und it
I ran away from these things like nope 🏃♀️💨 i aint gonna die today
I had a dream last night; A blue lion enters the house dancing around and I hid the stockroom folding myself with the blanket and the blue lion went upstairs dancing around, I was hoping that it won't find me. I was so scared
