Nagasaki Latern Festival -- Dragon Street Dance

This is the street version of the Dragon Dance. I would have recorded more, but I used up my video battery on the park performance. That's my fault for not charging it all the way. If you're wondering the dragon dance comes from a Chinese legend about a dragon that was terrorizing a village and how the towns people got rid of it. A friend of mine told me the story a long time ago. I don't remember it exactly, but you can read more about the dragon dance at http://en.wikipedia.org/.
