Lion dance thrills seniors at ACC Care Center

The Lion Dance is a centuries-old Chinese tradition that brings fortune and good luck top those watch it. The dance moves come largely from martial arts. There was no better group to perform them at ACC Care Center than Eastern Ways Martial Arts. For many residents, “you can tell the memories are flooding back” says troupe leader Sifu Hubbard. “The lions are very aware to make contact and touch each and every single individual resident here, which is really exciting for them. And then it’s interactive because they get to feed the lion with the lei-see envelope bringing them good luck for the rest of the yearIt’s exciting to be here to spread the culture of the Lunar New Year.”
