Escort the groom to
fetch the bride. |
Traditional Chinese lion dance and dragon
dance are a form of celebration popular at weddings, Lunar New
Year, opening of stores and birthday parties. The rich
color, lively performance, incredible stunt and dramatic gongs
and drums create an unforgettable cultural feast of unique sight
and sound.
The modern performing groups offer different packages for weddings.
A simple version of the dance may include two or three lions and the
band. Depending on the package, they may perform at the
reception, or escorts/leads the groom and his groomsmen as they go
to fetch the bride from her home. A more elaborate package
would include a group of dragon dancers for a parade of movement and
color.
