Describe a lion dance that you have watched

Chinese New Year is a time of festivity for the Chinese, and one of the ways of celebrating it is
to have a lion dance in front of the house or business premises. A lion dance is believed to bring
luck to the place.
It was the eighth day of the New Year. My friend, who has a computer shop in town, invited a
troupe of lions to usher in the year at his shop. A one-ton truck carrying the troupe arrived at the
premises at 9:30 a.m. The troupe had two lions, one red and the other yellow. The performers
were young men and boys from a local Chinese association.
quickly the performers donned the lion costumes. Each lion costume had two performers inside
it. The big drum rolled and the cymbals clanged. The lions started dancing to the pulsating beat.
They performers were very skilful as they pranced around in mock combat. The thunderous beat
of the drum soon attracted a sizable audience in front of the shop.
The dance went on for about ten minutes as the drum kept the tempo going. The performers must
be really fit to keep the action going at the frantic pace.
My friend had hung two red packets at a height of about three meters above the door of his shop.
These red packets were prizes for the lions. They will have to reach up and take the packets. So
after the round of dancing, the red lion reached up to take one of the packets. this was
accomplished by having the front performer stand on the shoulders of the back performer. It was
by no means an easy feat, but they performed well in getting a red packet. In similar fashion the
yellow lion reached up and took the second red packet.
After claiming their prizes, the two lions stage a final round of dancing. When the dance
concluded, the spectators gave them a hearty round of applause. It was a fine performance.
The members of the troupe then had snacks and drinks that were prepared for them. Finally the
troupe packed their things and got on their truck to go and stage another performance somewhere
else in town.
