Lion Dance @ Clark Quay
It’s never a proper Chinese New Year unless there’s a lion dance performance. Right? Well, to me, that is the case. And so, i was determine to capture some lion dance performance this Chinese New Year when I was out with DamienOY at Clark Quay.
As we were walking towards Hooters (which was closed for the Chinese New Year) for dinner, we walked past this stretch with loads of Asian restaurants. I think the waiters and waitresses all knew we were tourists instead of Singaporean cause they came after us like hawk going after rabbits. Anyway, we walked past this restaurant and I stopped cause I heard a lady spoke in cantonese that there will be lion dance performance shortly at her restaurant. DamienOY was like miles away before he realized I wasn’t walking along with him.
Found a nice spot to stand and waited for the performance to start and here’s a series of photos I took from the little ‘show’.
1. It started with the Dragon dance
2. I got too close trying to get a good shot that I got whacked by the Dragon
3. Dragon chasing after the Dragonball
4. The Lion Dance followed
5. The Lion Dance reaching for the sky
6. Finale
