Chinese New Year with the Confucius Institute at Croydon

The Confucius Institute (based at London's South Bank University) visited on Saturday 20th February.

Kung Fu Schools were very honoured to have some very special guests, as performers from north east China gave two packed out performances in front of parents and children, with demonstrations of lion dancing, weapons and Wushu kung fu.

There were also dancers from the Chinese opera and they performed the fire dance, the paper cutting dance and the tai chi fan dance.

The performers have done demonstrations in front of a hundred thousand people up and down the UK this year on behalf of the Confucius institute. They were also at Trafalgar square on Sunday 14th February to celebrate the Chinese new year, which was attended by the mayor of London Boris Johnson.
