LION DANCES FOR WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, ENGAGEMENT PARTIES, BABY 100 DAYS (訂婚, 結婚, 生日/慶生/大壽, 一百日宴)
It is a great traditional Chinese blessing to have a lion dance for special occasions. As well as being a spectacular show in the couple's and family reception, the traditional lion dance is meant to invite happiness and fortune into the marriage, and newborn/unborn babies, driving away any unwanted spirits.
The chorus of the drum, gong, and cymbals brings a cheerful and lively beat as the lions bow in respect to the couple and put on a very unique and enchanting show for the couple and their guests. A "Choi Cheng" lettuce ceremony would shred and toss the lettuce leaves to the guests/hosts, spreading fortune to all in attendance. At the end, the lions unfurl scrolls of blessings in Chinese characters for the couple.
CORPORATE/PRIVATE/GRAND OPENING EVENTS (公司, 開幕禮)
Bringing blessings to businesses since 1972. Lion Dances are a traditional Chinese ceremony to bring blessings and fortune and are especially great for grand openings, unveilings, anniversaries, achievements, Lunar New Year, and other events and celebrations.
COMMUNITY/CHARITY EVENTS (社區, 慈善)
Aside from the annual Lunar New Year parade in Vancouver's historic Chinatown, some of our most rewarding performances are for community and charity events and celebrations such as the Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House, association banquets, SUCCESS events, the Vaisakhi Parade, the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, performing for civic leaders, Federal and Provincial Ministers, MPs, and MLAs, BC's Lieutenant-Governor, and the Prime Minister of Canada,
GOD OF FORTUNE 財神 (Choy Sun/Cai Shen)
Aside from having lions at your event, you can add a God of Fortune (choy sun/cai shen) as well! A God of Fortune is a vibrant, popular Chinese character used to bring prosperity and joy to events, particularly during Lunar New Year. Featuring a red and gold robe, a cheerful smile, and this mascot interacts with crowds, often distributing red pockets in gold ingots. The mascot represents wealth and good fortune.
