Dragon Dance
Dragon Dance is a traditional Chinese performance art that involves a team of dancers manipulating a long flexible dragon puppet. The dragon, typically made of silk, paper, and bamboo, is held aloft on poles and moved in a sinuous, undulating manner to mimic the mythical creature's movements. The dancers coordinate their movements to make the dragon appear to come to life, weaving and twisting in intricate patterns. Dragon Dance is often performed during festivals and celebrations, believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
