dragon dances
Chinese parade spectacles
Dragon dances are traditional Chinese performances where a team of dancers manipulates a long, serpentine dragon figure on poles, making it undulate through the air.
The dance is performed at festivals, especially Chinese New Year and other celebrations, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity.
The dragon dance wound through the streets as firecrackers popped.
