Testimonial

Our company hired Ed and his students to perform at our AAPI Heritage month event. They presented a lion dance, tai chi demonstration, and a dragon dance. Ed made sure that the performances very interactive and the level of audience participation made it entertaining for everyone. Smiles and laughter filled the room. Our colleagues loved the performances and are still talking about the event months later. Ed was also very responsive and easy to work with in terms of the planning of the event. Thanks to Ed and the Fire Mountain School for such a memorable day!

Description

The traditional Chinese dragon dance is a celebration of wisdom, power, and prosperity. A coordinated feat of 10 dragon dancers- 9 dragon dancers and 1 pearl leader. The dragon engages the timeless pursuit of the elusive pearl of wisdom throughout the event. We often include volunteers at the event to join us. Great for team building.

Objectives

To give the audience a fun experience of Chinese culture. For events with volunteers, the experience is far more immersive. The experience of being in a dragon dance performance is exciting, like a 10 person sleigh ride.
