When culture and tradition move as one 🥁🦁 Meet the women of lion dancing ⬇️ With roots tracing back thousands of years in China, the lion dance is a staple of Chinese New Year celebrations- performed to bring good luck and fortune, chase away bad energy, and usher in happiness and prosperity for the year ahead. It’s also tied to Chinese martial art traditions, demanding strength, rhythm, trust, and stamina. For a long time, lion dance teams were almost entirely men. But the floor is shifting. Women are now stepping under the lion head, leading routines and pulling off stunts that require intense teamwork and strength.
