  • You're welcome and I have seen many lion dances and as I said that was the best. It made me want to take up Lion Dancing >;)

  • @mastersegarra This is Hong Kong/ Malaysian style. More modern one than the Traditional one. It's quite fun.

  • I've seen the Lion dance many times before but that was the first time I saw it performed on posts. I liked Northern style more for many years because the Lions movements looked more natural and performed on the Ball and see saw. But I actually like your style the equally now. Your performance made me forget it was two people and made me think it was an actual creature you breathed life into it. Bravo.

  • it takes a lot of work to setup and if you learn fast its quite easy to do anything.

  • I can imagine, all that metal framework and posts, how much does each post weigh about? How long did it take you to set up?

  • Thanx for putting this up.

  • You're very welcome.

  • @chinitoboy124 I'm not quite sure since I was 15 at the time. And you could be right about it. Now since, I'm in my 30's... I just watch the lion dance since I retired from Lion Dancing.

  • @TheChinkstaShow  actually for the 1994 dragon boat festival, wan chi ming were jumping the lotus poles, but as you said traditionally. nyuddlt does it malaysian style, but was not the first to do it, unless nyuddlt did it before 1994?

  • lol well depense how big the pole is aka jongs. the smaller ones the teens can carry that but the bigger ones are heavier so need about 2 ppl. the setup takes about 15-20 minutes because of the base that is heavy and we also need to screw these in. the decaration is optional.

  • ULD is the first group to have "lotus" pole in Chinatown. Other group does it more traditionally.
