Lion Dance History

This very compressed and summarized version of the truly expansive history behind lion dancing. Lion dancing is a cultural and historic art that stems from ancient Chinese legend. Despite being hundreds of years old, lion dancing has persisted as a custom that is now practiced not only in China, but all over the world. Not only has it remained a training tool utilized by kung fu practitioners - lion dancing is a long-held tradition that is believed to grant viewers with good luck, good fortune, and vitality to the people.
