Lion Dance : Pattern

Lion Dance
A lion dance is an important, traditional type of
dance performed at Chinese New Year, festivals,
wedding ceremonies, and other celebratory
occasions. The lion is said to repel evil and bring
good fortune, and is a popular icon in China Towns
around the world. In China, people of the same
nationality speak in different dialects depending on
the region they live in, and in the same way, the lion
dance also varies in different areas. Broadly
speaking, it can be divided into two styles: northern
and southern. The northern style is performed mainly
in areas in north China and features movements
based on martial arts. The southern style, performed
mainly in the south, is known for its acrobatic
dancing style. This paper craft model is based on the
southern style of lion dance, and has a main color
tone of red, which is said to be a lucky color.
