Lion Dancing

Our kids decided they wanted to put on a traditional Chinese New Year lion dance for Sarah and I. They were SOOOOO excited to do it, and so I wanted to record the experience to share with everyone.

Just for some reference, the lion dance is done every year all over Asia by different troupes to celebrate Chinese New Year. Here's what it typically looks like:

And here is our kids version:

What a delightful show! The sheer excitement of the boys is obvious. Very nice! First-class dancing and musical talent all around.

I loved it, especially Andy's face while drumming.
