Lion Dancers

Stafford, Texas

Please View in Original Size for Best Quality
The Lion Dancers need to be very agile and fit as they perform a lot of acrobatic moves.
One holds the head and the other the body of the Lion. It is typical for the Lion Troupes to be part of martial art schools.
They play out during street celebrations to the sound of drums, gongs and cymbals.
The parading Lions run along the streets to bring goodwill and luck to everyone they meet. They visit stores, restaurants and businesses.

Good detail and color on the costumes, and some great poses as well. V.

A great shot of these dancers. It apparently takes a lot of training to portray the energy and the vitality of the dragon,
and some dancers are considered masters. Happy New Year of the Monkey! V
