Lion Dance a la Gangnam

The Chinese New Year is not complete without the lion dance. This is usually a pair of lions prancing to the beat of a Chinese drum. The lions dance vigorously, often performing on raised pillars where they leap from one to another, each of differing heights.

This year there was a twist!! There are lion dances a la Gangnam. However I still prefer the traditional lion dance with its deafening drum beats that raise your spirits in the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

Enjoy the Gangnam style lion dance here.
