Lion Dance!
I has lion dance pictures.
Occasion was, my family is buying a new house in Setia Eco Park, which is a new housing estate. Mostly big houses, bungalows we call them. So, new residents were invited to this dinner. We went because of free food. There was also a lion dance.
Lion dances are fairly popular around the Lunar New Year. Folks get troupes to perform in their homes as a way to usher in good luck. The more noise, the better. These are the normal noisemakers for a show:
One big drum, and at least two cymbal players, and a gong ringer.
( More pics! )
We had another lion dance later in the evening, will post tomorrow if I have the time.
