The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year to bring good fortune and chase away evil spirits. The lion symbolizes power, wisdom, and superiority, and is one of the most important traditions at Chinese New Year. The lion dance is also a way to create a festive atmosphere and bring happiness.
Dragon dances can be seen in many places around the world. They are believed to be a way to scare away evil spirits and bring good luck to people. It is considered lucky if one is touched by a (dragon dance) dragon.
During the dragon dance, the performers bring the dragon to life by raising and lowering the dragon's body using wooden poles as they weave through the streets. Unlike the lion performers who are completely concealed by their costume, the dragon dancers are in plain sight!
