Sacred Mountain Fighting and Healing Arts is home to northern Arizona’s sole Lion Dance Performance Team.

Lion dancing is an integral part of Chinese culture. Lion Dance is performed to chase away evil spirits, bringing forth luck and prosperity to the establishment, event, newlyweds, or individual.  

According to an ancient legend, a Chinese emperor once dreamed that a strange looking animal resembling a lion saved his life. Since then, the lion has become a symbol of good luck throughout China.

Performed by only the most accomplished martial artists, our team brings the highest level of skill to your special occasion for your customers and clients.  We are always honored to be a part of your event and bring happiness, luck, and prosperity!

When is a Lion Dance appropriate?

The answer is: any time you wish to bring a unique
experience to any event!  Some examples:

  •  Chinese New Year
  • Business Grand Openings
  • Anniversaries
  • Birthdays
  • Weddings
  • Special Occasions

 

What can I expect?

Each lion dance varies according to the occasion and situation, but each dance includes:

  •  Traditional Bow – used to open and close a lion dance, it shows humility and brings luck.
  •  Respect to Guests of Honor – the lion shows respect and humility through bows throughout the dance to honored guests
  •  High and Low Walk – showing pride and curiosity in our surroundings, and illustrating attentiveness and curiosity
  •  Play – fun!  The lion acts youthful and playful, and interacts with the crowd and surroundings
  •  Choy Cheng “Eating the Greens” – the finale, the lion will pick up and eat a head of lettuce, retrieving a red envelope of money inside, then spits out the remaining green, spreading good fortune to the audience
