It may also be performed in some important occasions, such as opening ceremonies, special celebrations or weddings, or used by Chinese communities to entertain special guests.

Lion dancing in China is often mistaken for dragon dancing. A simple way to distinguish is that lions are usually operated by one or two dancers, while dragons need many people. Also in the lion dance, performers only appear occasionally because they are in the lion. When dancing the dragon, the performer's face is easy to see, because the dragon is held on the post.
