Chinese lion dance is a festive, cultural performance combining the movement and spirit of kung fu with drumming and other percussion instruments. It is especially significant at Lunar New Year, and symbolizes fostering positivity and the warding away of negative energy. Attendees of all ages will be enthralled by the performance, and will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the costume pieces.
