Dragon Dance consists of nine people carrying a fierce and powerful dragon. The dragon is chasing the pearl of knowledge and wisdom, carried by the tenth person in the team. During a performance the dragon careens, twists and turns and the dancers have techniques to be sure the dragon doesn't falter. 

The history of Dragon Dance is hidden under many hundreds of generations of dancers from many parts of the world. Different origination stories are given but the current version is that the Dragon brings good luck in it's never ending search for knowledge and wisdom. 

We have several different dragons for performances. Day-glo dragons work well when the sun is up and light-up dragons work well after sunset.  Dragon dancers are usually our more experienced youth with the added adult student at the head or tail.  The best dragon dancers are those that are nimble, quick and kind. Their reward is a beaming crowd, and purposeful workout.
