Chinese New Year festivals - Lions - Chinatown Melbourne and Glen Waverley

Lion Dance is a chinese tradition performed during events such as Chinese Lunar New Year festivals, weddings
or the opening of a new business. A Lion is operated by 2 people inside the costume. The parade or dance is
accompanied by music provided by drums and cymbals. My favourite is the stump lion dance where the lions
perform up on poles, a great demonstration of balance and agility.
