Lion Dance video 舞狮 wǔshī
Tj’s Lion Dance video shoot during Chinese New Year
The lion dance (舞狮 wǔshī) is often mistakenly referred to as dragon dance. An easy way to tell the difference is that a lion is normally operated by two dancers, while a dragon needs many people.
Also, in a lion dance, the performers’ faces are only seen occasionally, since they are inside the lion. In a dragon dance, the performers’ faces can be easily seen since the dragon is held on poles.
Basic Chinese lion dance fundamental movements can be found in most Chinese martial arts.
