Dragon Dance

[ChessWCM888]

Nice loong. You should check out my school's loong. We are the Wan Chi Ming Lion/Dragon Dance troupe in New York. Check out our website at liondanceny(Dot)com

Isn't even my culture, but I love it.

Is it hard to make that dragon? My middle school wants to do a dragon dance, but...I don't know if we can now...

[olioh]

Hmm... If it is just for fun, it should not be too hard to make a basic one. You basically need, for example, 5 sticks. They would all have a small barrel/cylinder shape on the top (like the body of a snake). You would then need to run a length of cloth over all 5 and then maybe sow it up underneath to form a snake like body. (there are coiled wires inside the length of the body to keep it "fat", but the ones in here have already collapsed!). Decorate the end barrels as a head and tail.

@olioh nice vedio man 

[olioh]

That is a very quick description of how you MAY want to go about building one in a very basic way. Hope that helps. Could be a fun building project if anything!

Camden Town Hall near King's Cross station.

[qingying88]

[olioh]

Yes, London.

Thanks, that is kind of you to say.

We are not a pro or even amateur team. We were just asked to perform for an event. No doubt it wasn't very good but I think we did well for our first ever attempt with very limited practice =)

[qingying88]

no worries..my english is nt tat well in this stage,hope tat u wont mind on it ^^

the reason i left comment here is to recognize the effort u guys ve put in dragon dance, and encourage of constant to dragon dance...

i know it;s reli tough to organize a dragon team in westen country, which i m currently doin...and it;s glad to c dragon dance is in london!!

anyway, keep it on ~

[koriplays]

[weiren90]

[seigao]

keep going on

[seigao]

keep going on ^^

[seigao]

Venue is too small, no one instrument it?

and learn more tricks :)

[olioh]

Thanks for the feedback =)

Yes, the venue is very small, but I guess we don't have a choice in the matter.

We would like to learn more tricks but it's quite hard when no one commits to being on the team until 1 week before the show =P It's not our dragon either, so it's hard for us to get access to it, which is a shame.

Thanks for the comments!

[miaomiaochen]

hi can you please contact me? i needed draon dance on the 31st.

[olioh]

Hopefully TeamWuJin will be able to help you with some information.

Good luck with your search and Happy New Year!

[TeamWuJin]

I have a new 10man glow in the dark Dragon I'm trying to get rid of if anyone is interested :)

[cambseastkanga]

I would love it to show my nursery children. Would you be able to post it and where are you?

Thanks

[olioh]

Hi, unfortunately I can't post it as it was filmed a long time ago and I don't think anyone has a hard copy. This was filmed in London near King's Cross in the Camden Town Hall.

[miaomiaochen]

hi i'm interested in getting a draon.can you ccantact me?

[sweetie199719]

that looks cool

[DoomedDiceThrower]

Dancing this must be like playing "Snake".

[olioh]

That is correct!

[brianrabs]

were can i get the music? whats the name of the music?? pls help its urgent..

please and thank you

[brianrabs]

what is the titile of music and where can i get one? tnx

[olioh]

Sorry, I personally do not know. I know that it is used for New Year celebrations though.

[brianrabs]

do you know where can i get the same music?

or the name of the sounds?? tnx

[Ahboii97]

how did u make the dragon???or did u bought it?

[olioh]

Hahaha, no we did not make the dragon. I think if you want one you need to specially order it from a company that makes them.

[pipari44]

that is sooo coool, i love chinese traditional culture, even the company that makes the dragons, i just love the cets waving a paw in the shops, i love pagoda, i love chinaaaa

[Admeister88]

i've watched for 4:36 and all it is is a dragon running in circles... i dunno about the dancers&cameraman, but i'm freaking dizzy

[olioh]

LOL

Yes, unfortunately we don't have much time to prepare so we can't really come up with any fancy moves. We try to throw in a new one every show but it's hard when you only have a full team 1% of the time...

[kai05105]

lol we use to same music for it but shorter

[elifje03]

very good luuk and nice

[taijicheng]

[olioh]

Hahaha, very authentic ;)

[piolina1489]

buenisimo!!, soy un chino-Argentino o sea Argenchino.

[olioh]

Gracias! Soy (sea?) Franchino.

[timothyngim]

The music is great

[Papustiikka]

wow

[col1n1234]

I realy enjoyed the dance, why dose the Dragon follow the ball? what dose the ball Symbolise? Thanks Colin

[olioh]

Thank's for your kind comment.

The ball is supposed to be a pearl. The pearl can be said to represent wisdom, which the dragon is searching for.

[col1n1234]

Thank you.

[koollilazian]

very nice

[Aznbabygrl6]

[WingChunSiMui]
