Chinese New Years 2013
The year of the Snake has arrived. Time to sound the drums, light the fireworks, awaken the Dragons and Tigers for the celebration. This year I had the honor and pleasure to perform with Sacramento's lion dance team, Lun Yee Tong. The group not only does lion and dragon dancing, but also martial arts performance as well. The team and I trained hard in preparation for the performance. From push ups, to running, and frog jumps, just to name a few, we were ready for the New Year. We not only performed at markets, but also casinos and restaurants as well. Seeing as this is my first year, I only did one kung fu form and a part of the dragon. Regardless, it was still a fun experience and I can't wait for the next performance and give the lion a go.

This round I got to lead the charge with the dragon.
It is said that when you give a lion money, you will receive good fortune.
