Dragon Dance II

Posted by Eric Cousineau (Sherwood Park, Canada) on 28 January 2012 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

The dance team does mimic the supposed movements of this river spirit in a sinuous, undulating manner. The movements in a performance traditionally symbolise historical roles of dragons demonstrating power and dignity. The dragon dance is a highlight of Chinese New Year celebrations held worldwide in Chinatowns around the world.
