Chinese lion dance: pairs of dancers share a lion costume during this very energetic dance, part of a street parade.


This lion dance is part of the Sydney Chinese New Year celebrations: a large parade passes through the city centre every year. Note that this is rather different from the dragon dance: dragons have a much greater number of people under them - never two.
