I've just started to understand what lion dancing is about and this video spells it out. Wow! You guys are amazing by putting that much energy into training. My respect for the craft just went up big time.
@MycoolC123 As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. Generally, you can break down lion dancing (as with most performance arts) into three components. 1) Physical ability, 2) Movement correctness, 3) Personality, style and flavor
1) Physical ability - This you can train like most athletes to gain strength and stamina
2) Movement correctness - Some people may say there's no right or wrong, but you have to consider that you are preserving the culture of the lion dance.
3) Personality, style and flavor - This is how you portray the personality of the lion you are dancing. This is your creativity at work and you will have to develop this over time.
Great training videos! Keep it up!
