Love to watch their performance son loves it too! Although shifted home, still came online to watch their performances. Big respect for these people, not easy to earn a living in Sg but still maintain this hobby.

The POV from the go-pro camera from the lion dancer is akin to that viewed from a rock climber. The intensity of the sport - dancing, jumping, hopping, lifting, swinging, etc - all from and around the high posts, qualifies this to be Olympic level of fitness and agility. Maybe one day there would be a lion dance competition in the Olympics.

Lion dancing has been doing well and hiring like crazy in China for the last 4 years, mostly from the funeral industry.
