Yellow Dragons, Lion Dances, White Rabbits, Boomtown Rats & Flying Stars


This week my Tai Chi / Chi GungKung Fu school "Yellow Dragon Fist" were invited to perform a Lion Dance live for the BBC's "Chinese New Year"  (Year of the Rabbit ) edition of their Flagship "One Show". Chinese new year is always a busy time for the school with request to perform Lion Dances and make alterations to clients Feng Shui.  (My Master Simon Wong is  Taoist/Buddhist and a Practioner of Flying Star Feng Shui.)
Despite various obstacles (including the car breaking down) we arrived at Television centre in good time and met Chris Evans dressed as a White Rabbit and Sir Bob Geldof of  the Boomtown Rats before the show. This was my first ever time performing a Lion Dance in public. I usually play the drum or cymbals. But all went well and a link to the performance on The One Show can be found here.
