The Lion Dance

The Chinese Lion is at the heart of Double Dragon Kung Fu school.

The majestic and awe inspiring Lion Dance dates back to the ancient Han Dynasty (205 BC to 220 AD) and is very important to Chinese culture - it is often performed during holidays and important functions to dispel evil influences and enable fortune and good luck to abound.

The famous Double Dragon Lion Dance Team performs the tradition Southern Lion Dance style, using teams of two people in the brightly coloured lion costumes. A Lion Dance team is made up of a drummer, a gong player and as many as four cymbal players (with various sized cymbals and two dancers - one dancer in the lion's head and one in the tail).

The Double Dragon Lion Dance Team performs in the tri-cities(Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge). In Kitchener Waterloo, the Double Dragon Lion Dance team can be found performing at many city events as well as private functions. Our lion dance team is available for your special event, such as:
