MOAR Lion Dance!
Feb. 10th, 2010 11:06 amSo, moar lion dance pictures.
Here's a shot of the platform for the second lion dance of the evening:
I'm told by an aunt that this platform was innovated by Malaysian lion dancers, and exported to China, so many early international lion dance competitions would have them, but only Malaysian troupes would use them, and other troupes remained on the ground. Much like how yee sang was created in Ipoh and then exported to China.
( Moar pics! )Hope you liked the pics! And captions.

Lion Dance!
Feb. 9th, 2010 11:16 pmI 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.
