Palatial Crest Lion Dance

As is the custom at Chinese New Year, the owners of our building arranged for a Lion Dance to be performed for the residents and employees. Having this performance is believed to bring good fortune to the building and all who live and work within. 

It is a very festive occasion that begins with the God of Fortune passing out gold (chocolates) to everyone.

The dancers and drummers prepare for the performance.

It is a difficult place to perform because the sidewalk is slanted quite a bit from one end of the poles to the other. Once the dancers begin jumping from pole to pole you find yourself holding your breath.

When the dancing is complete and the confetti has settled, the building owner wishes all Kung Hei Fat Choi.

Then the God of Fortune joins the families for New Year photos.
