Dragon dance performance
www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-05 10:10:54
Locals perform dragon dance as part of the consecration ceremony of
dragon in Saiying town, Guizhou province on Jan. 31, 2006. The dragon
dance, also known as the dragon lantern dance, is a unique folk dance in
China. The performers wave props shaped like a dragon to the
accompaniment of drums and gongs, displaying a powerful and majestic
momentum. In the remote past the dragon dance was performed to pray for
rain and now became a major item of entertainment during festivals,
especially the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
