THIS IS SO COOL
THIS IS SO COOL
Lit Video🔥🔥🔥
For the past several years I've seen my local Buddhist temple have low standards of performance for the lion dance. I've reached out to the local monks to see if I can put together a training regimen to help the performers for the upcoming festival.
Chai yo
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nice Video! Could you do some more videos about the basic of lion dance?
I’m from a lion dance troupe known as Khuan loke lion dance association and this is quite correct
Ok I have to commend the pink lion head at 5:32 (Because I do lion dance, I know) GREAT FREAKING RECOVERY! NICE! Swing that head like that was the plan! Didn't freak out about the misstep, and just HeiSi! Nice.
I really wanna be a lion damcer but 1..im not very flexible, i think im oberweight for my age, idk anything about the tradition, i dont live in asia and much more... But i wont give up. Im only 9 so i got quite a bit of time
There are many lion dance groups in the US or Europe and you can go watch groups around lunar new year (which just passed) You’re still young and don’t worry about flexibility for lion dancing, you just need to be light on your feet. Always got time to improve!
@@LocalGrocerybags ty (:
Lol just remembered I commented this Kinda cringe ngl
@@Aharuiano it's not cringe at all! You have a lot of time and your body isn't developed yet so you just need to start! You can go to your local wushu federation, because many Asian lion dance troups are formed from the wushu teams and forms and moves take roots from wushu (like the horse stance, the rooster stance). With proper wushu training you will gain flexibility and strength that are needed for the lion dance. Keep going! I am 22 and started wushu two months ago, though I thought it will be too late for me, but it's not, I am motivated by my coaches and I've just started saving money for my lion dance costume. Don't give up! 💪 Start learning Chinese culture, it will keep you interested and motivated. Our first steps may be cringey, but after all the hard work we will achieve the result that we wanted
Hey I’m 9 I’m overweight for my age and I’m doing LION dance
whoa cute lions :0
Not to today
Plz
Tabika kemas
Can you do at my school there is in Malaysia Cockermouth
Hello, and thanks for your interest! For any future performance requests, please contact us via our website: www.pennlions.net/contact-us.
What is The Music called?
Our style is a variant of the Hok San style. If you look up Hok San lion dance music, you'll hear many of the same beats (though perhaps under different names)!
@@PennLionsty
@@PennLions do you have seven stars?
These are beautiful and i love getting to see all the lions' personalities through the cotume designs and movements 🫶
Tysm for these educational vids, i just discovered this and wanted to write a story that incorporates this tradition but dont wanna sound uneducated and clueless 🫶
Glad you're enjoying them! Good luck with your story 🦁
nice two legs :^)
spoicyy
the way they held that one headstack for so long😮
NOICE stacks!!
WHOSE BENCHES ARE THESE I WANT THEM
the head-tail switch was sooo smooth omg so many tricks in this 6 min routine!!
this performance is so chaotic hahaha
What can I say? Firecrackers make performances all the more chaotic!
my favorite part is 2:15
and when Alex had to roll forever :D
mine is 2:15 too!
8/10, could use some more memes :>
the back of the tail who got jumped on o.o

New fan here saying what’s up y’all.
where do you guys get your lions??
The lion used in this video is from a vendor that is now unfortunately out of business. We now get most of our lions as well as our other equipment from Dragon Lion Gear (www.dragonliongear.com) in northern NJ.
u guys should compete nationally
The lion dance team I’m a part of just taught us the two leg stand the other day. The videos really do make it look easier than it actually is because I almost face planted on our first try 😅, but we got it at the end.
Stacks are lots of fun, but they do take a lot of practice to get right! All the dancers in the video worked really hard to get where they were. Glad to hear that you were able to land the two-leg :D
I like how you guys added the commentary during the lion dance stunts in action because I’m always confused on trying to figure out what they’re doing or what story they’re trying to tell.

nice stack
