The Wednesday before the banquet, I got the opportunity to perform in a Lion Dance at the Onoway Elementary School. For reference, it has been at least 4 years since I have performed in a lion and I felt it. I had forgotten just how hard it was and how much conditioning you need to have.
As a funny coincidence, it just so happens that a couple of my personal goals this year are directly related to Lion Dancing and this dance in Onoway just confirmed with myself why I chose them. I will be working on my own lion dancing skills this year. Not only to become a better dancer but to also work more on the technical side of things. And as an added bonus, it will help with my strength, conditioning and Kung Fu.
I also have even more respect for the Lion Dancers we have at SRKF. It is a lot of hard work and I now have a better understanding of just how hard it is.
