Learning the Dragon and Lion dance is a great workout, builds lots of strength and endurance and is lots of fun! No experience necessary. The Dragon is the king of the celestial lucky creatures.

The result are captivating shapes and patterns that bring the Dragon to life as it soars amongst the clouds or dives deep into the seas!
