This week my Tai Chi / Chi Gung / Kung 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.
