The team visited our school for Language Day and provided the students with an exciting workshop on the Chinese lion dance. Johnny and the team members were great with the students and were very professional and educational. I highly recommend them..Ken Wong, Barker College Hornsby

Dragon Dance Kids Workshop - Synopsis
In the Dragon Dance Kids Workshop, children are invited to explore the rich cultural heritage of the dragon dance through storytelling, music, and hands-on activities. The workshop begins with a captivating tale that introduces the dragon as a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune in Chinese culture. Participants will then get the opportunity to wear the vibrant dragon dance costume and learn the basic movements of the dance.
In the latter part of the workshop, students will engage in an arts and crafts session where they create their own dragon puppets. This activity not only enhances their understanding of the dragon's symbolism but also allows them to express their creativity.
Teacher's Notes: The workshop is designed to be interactive, encouraging participation from all students. The dragon dance portion of the workshop requires an open space for students to practice the dance moves safely. Craft materials for the puppet-making session (e.g., coloured paper, glue, markers) will be provided.
Staging Requirements: A spacious area (indoor preferred) to accommodate the dragon dance movements. Tables and chairs for the puppet-making activity.
Credits: Workshop led by experienced cultural instructors from Lion Dance Kids. Storytelling inspired by traditional Chinese folklore. This workshop is an engaging way for students to connect with cultural traditions while fostering creativity and teamwork.
