Description

The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation and symbolizes auspiciousness, dignity, joy, and bravery. Descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors deeply believe that the dragon can ascend through the clouds and churn seas, possessing the magical power to call the wind and summon the rain. To express reverence for the dragon, people often perform dragon dances during festive days to celebrate, enliven the atmosphere, seek good fortune, and pray for a bountiful harvest. Creative dragon dancing not only uplifts your spirit but also allows you to meet friends during your travels, collaborating to complete a creative piece. Learn the art of dragon dancing in a two-hour workshop in Beijing. Deepen your respect and knowledge of this traditional art form by exploring its cultural background. Ensure each participant understands their role, including duties as the orb commander, dragon head, body, and tail dancers, to ensure the coordination and performance of the dragon dance. Conduct a brief training session to introduce participants to the history and cultural significance of dragon dancing, as well as the basic movements and coordination required for each role, helping participants better understand its cultural value and technical details. Receive personal guidance from experienced dragon dance masters, learning the basic steps and formation changes of dragon dancing, ensuring every participant masters key skills. Through a series of rehearsals, enhance the connections among participants and deeply experience China's traditional culture, ensuring the smoothness and watchability of the dragon dance performance. Encourage participants to be creative during rehearsals, trying different formations and movements to make the final performance more visually appealing and innovative.
