Chinese Lion Dance Workshops for Schools

The Lion Dance is an important form of traditional dance in Chinese culture and incorporates many of the essential movements found in Kung Fu.

Your children will be awed by the spectacle that our highly skilled artists will bring to your school, beginning with a colourful and interactive demonstration, which is designed to complement the sessions to follow.

What makes our Chinese Lion Dance workshop unique

Our Chinese Lion Dance workshops give children the thrilling opportunity to experience one of the most celebrated traditional dances in Chinese culture. The Lion Dance is known for its powerful movements, rhythmic co-ordination, and striking costumes, all brought to life through teamwork and performance.

Led by skilled and experienced artists, children will learn the basic choreography, rhythm, and co-ordination involved in performing the Lion Dance. Each workshop begins with an engaging live demonstration, capturing children’s attention with colour, sound, and movement. Then, through guided sessions, they get hands-on experience learning the dance’s signature steps and team movements, culminating in an end-of-day performance.

The importance of the Chinese Lion Dance workshop

The Lion Dance symbolises good luck, strength, and happiness. Beyond its traditional meaning, our Chinese Lion Dance workshops for schools promote essential learning outcomes: teamwork, communication, focus, and physical co-ordination. 

These workshops nurture physical confidence, build motor skills, and inspire creativity while giving children the chance to learn through active participation. They also provide a meaningful way to enrich subjects such as PE, Music, and Performing Arts, helping schools meet key curriculum objectives in an engaging and memorable way.
