Lion dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.

The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other traditional festivals. It may also be performed at important occasions (场合) such as business opening events, special celebrations or wedding ceremonies. It means bringing good luck in the coming year.

"The lions" dance to the beat of a drum, but they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costumes. In the dance usually two people act as a lion: one waving the lion head and the other waving the lion body and tail; or one performer acts as a cub (幼崽), while the other holds a silk ball to play with it. They dance in tempo (节奏) to the musical melody (曲调).

In the past, lion dance was performed mostly in China. But it has changed today. It is popular all over the world.
