Lion Dance Chinese New Year 2010

This was a Dance to celebrate Chinese New Year 2010 at the New Royal Baths Chinese Restaurant, Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The restaurant has only just opened and is a magnificent old Victorian Spa Baths that has had 1.3 Million spent making it a very nice restaurant, with World class chefs. This event was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Harrogate. The dance (performed by two lions, one smaller lion, one Buddha, drum and cymbal) was presented by the Northern Lions. The dance involved a 20 minute display and blessing of the entire venue. This video is a quick edit version. Sorry for the poor colours, the light was fairly dim and the many, many bodies did not make for an ideal venue to film... enjoy!

Hi likklecboi.

No offense taken. The Northern Lion Dance Team ARE 3x competition winners. This event was stricken by illness and bad weather theat meant the team line-up chnaged last minute... also as a side note and I am sure you may know, venue space and requirements of the client, mean the show adapts to suit what is required / wanted / possible... for sure a competion venue with space and tables/poles etc give a different overall result.

cheers

please dont take this to offence because your troupe is probz new but u guys should learn how to use the cymbols and traditional drumming beat! i would recommend fut san drumming because your lion heads are fut san.
