Lion Dance

Stafford, Texas

Lion dance 舞狮; 舞獅 is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture,
in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume.
Lion dances can be broadly categorized into two styles, Northern (北獅) and Southern (南獅).

There are three types of lions: the golden lion, representing liveliness; the red lion, representing courage; and the green lion, representing friendship.

Love this head-on with great color, and if it's possible, a great expression as well. V.
