| IPTC INFO | | Caption | Located in Daly City California the West Coast Lion Dance Troupe was formed in 1988 by Tony Shiu who first started lion dancing in 1976. The main goal of the West Coast Lion Dance Troupe is to pass on the traditional art of Chinese lion dancing along with the culture and customs that makes up lion dancing. The West Coast Lion Dance Troupe has performed in the San Francisco Chinese New Year's SFCNY parade every year since 1988. In 1990 the troupe took the second place award in lion dancing at the SFCNY parade. More is lost with each generation but for whatever the reasons may be we must remember that the youth of today are going to be the adults of tomorrow. It is a duty of the lion dance troupe to keep this part of the Chinese culture alive so it will not be lost to the future. The main goal of the West Coast Lion Dance Troupe is to see that this particular tradition and subculture thrives because if we do not then who will? Lion dancing helps self-esteem and allows pride in heritage. The current age range of the members in the West Coast Lion Dance Troupe is ten years and up. Practice is held once a week every Sunday. With the number of active members in the troupe the ratio of lion heads is about 2 to 1. The West Coast Lion Dance Troupe welcomes anyone interested in becoming a member. | | Headline | West Coast Lion Dance | | Copyright Notice | westcoastliondance.org | | Credit | Founded 1988 based in Daly City | | URL | http://www.westcoastliondance.org/ |
