A view from inside the head

Of a lion.

 

I haven't been inside a lion head for pretty much the last 5 years or so, but is a great feeling, even if I wasn't dancing. We pulled a couple of lions down yesterday for the Lil Leopards class, and had them take turns sitting inside a head with us. They snapped the mouth, blinked the eyes and wiggled the ears. I really loved seeing the excitement in their faces!

 

Lion dancing takes hard work, the very definition of Kung Fu. It's great to see the I Ho Chuan team learning about it and the history and meaning of the dances. Lion Dance is a major part of our school, and it's wonderful to see new faces finding a passion for it.
