The Lion Dance

I have to admit that this is my favorite time of year because it is Lion Dance prep time for the Chinese New Years Banquet. I have performed Lion Dances in the banquet a few times and I have also helped choreograph them. Last year was a year where I was heavily involved in the choreography. This year, I have a plan for the dance and am hoping we as a team can pull it off.

The plan is very intricate and involves a lot of personality and emotions and I am confident that the dancers will see the vision. I must admit, I do miss performing in the dances personally as it was a big part of my training and it has had a huge impact on who I am as a martial artist. The truth is though, the new (some are not so new but new compared to myself) dancers we have are inspiring to me and they have the same passion that I have so they have should be the ones perfoming.

Anyway, there is a lot of work to do and a lot of questions that I need to get clarification on but that is something that I look forward to working through as this is a new challenge for me that will only help me as I progress in m y training.
