Many Chinese take this form of art for granted but it never cease to amaze me. The There is so much skill involved to make it look like it’s really alive. And the best part is where the lion is about to spring into action, indicated by the drums rolling and then followed by a sort of knocking sound like at 2:02. I love that knocking sound. And the wagging tail.
There are two types of lion dance. Southern style and northern style. The one in the video above is the Southern style, which is the more popular style.
