With plenty of drumming, flamboyance and skill, Kuala Lumpur’s lion dancing troupes will ring in the Lunar New Year celebrations across the city. An integral part of the Lunar New Year Festival, the Lion Dance is a Chinese tradition stretching back over 1,000 years and has featured in our celebrations for many, many years. The sound of drums and firecrackers accompanying the frenzy of lions and dragons is very much a welcome sight as they are thought to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. For shoppers, the sight of these skillful dancers who can scale tall poles and entertain the crowd is a sure crowd-puller in most malls. Here, we’ve compiled a list of where you can catch them during the weeks leading up to the Lunar New Year.
