wahngai

The Chinese believe the lion is a symbol of
good luck. The lion is often invited to perform
at auspicious occasions such as weddings,
birthdays, grand openings, and many other
festivals and celebrations throughout the year.

Wah Ngai members train in traditional and
freestyle lion dancing. Traditional lion dancing
is based on a foundation of discipline taught in
the martial art of Kung Fu. Freestyle lion dance
adds elements of theatrics and acrobatics as
most noticeable in our exciting pole-jumping
routines.

In 2005, Wah Ngai's freestyle team placed 4th
behind some very talented teams from Macau,
Hong Kong, and China at the international
tournament held in Manitoba by Dragon & Lion
Dance International of Canada.
