LION DANCE⁠ ⁠ Have you watched a lion dance before?⁠ ⁠ I grew up watching Lion Dance Championships on TV during lengthy New Year visitations! We'd marvel at how precise, strong and well-coordinated the lion dancers must be, especially when they're performing complicated routines on high poles 😱 Definitely not for the faint-hearted.⁠ ⁠ We brought the boys to watch some lion dances in local shopping malls the previous years, but they were often put off by how loud everything was!⁠ ⁠ This year, after reading our 《欢乐中国年》 pop-up book, we opted to watch lion dance in the comfort of our home on Youtube, just for fun!⁠ ⁠ Here is the link for the top 4 winners of Singapore National Lion Dance Competition 2019 - have fun watching!⁠ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6L099UX0zw⁠ ⁠ Get your copy of this amazing pop up book on our webstore now!
