2/1/2025 Almaden Library Community Center We were invited by the Almaden Library to do a lion dance performance during Chinese New Year.
Although our performers only had a month prior to rehearse, they had experience from their previous performance the year before. Many more people in the audience this year were curious about the lion dance performance and asked more questions. The audience seemed less afraid of the lions than they were last time. The rehearsal this time around was focused on bringing out more liveliness and expression to the lions.
Our performers and the audience seemed to enjoy it more this time around. Hopefully next year, we’ll be able to do more spectacular things with our lion dance.
We were happy to see a more receptive audience this time. People were more open to interacting with our lions. We’re looking forward to next year’s lion dance performance!
