Lion dance is an excellent folk art in China. Whenever festivals or gatherings are held to celebrate, people always entertain themselves by dancing lions. Lion dance is divided into north and south, and the lion dance in Guangdong is the most famous in the south. Lions are made of colored strips of cloth. Every lion has two people performing together, one dancing in the head and the other dancing in the tail. Under the sound of gongs and drums, the performers dressed up as lions and made various movements of lions. Lion dancers should show southern martial arts with various moves when performing, which is very masculine.
