Dragon Dance Chinese Spring Festival stage on Washington Street in San Francisco's Chinatown 20150307-120046 C4
This is the second image capture of several girls guiding the long body of the dragon on the temporary stage on Washington Street during the Spring Festival celebration in San Francisco's Chinatown on March 7, 2015. This image shows the Dragon in its circular motion after the two poses that highlighted its ferocious looking face. I published the image out of the order taken to show how the young people work with the poles supporting the Dragon. Look easy from here. However, like most things, experienced performers always make difficult tasks look easy. Bravo to these girls for a crowd pleasing show in their Spring Festival Dragon Dance. At first I thought the performers were both girls and boys. Upon closer look, they all seem to be girls from Yau Kung Moon and can use 7 - 16 foot poles for the Dragon Dance. Below are excerpts from their Yau Kung Moon website where they explain they are highly trained Dragon Dancers.
It is believed that Lion Dance brings good luck, good health and prosperity…
