16 people.  3 lions.  1 dragon.  Amazing.

Lo Duc had their annual celebration for Tết Nguyên Đán, better known as Lunar New Year.  I have to say, the “kids” have grown up and really did surprise me today at the performance.  They definitely have improved since the last time I saw them.

The lion dance team, Tiên Rồng / Celestial Dragon, was created back in 2005 by Jonathan Tran and myself.  We’ve ran the team all the way up until a few years back when we decided to focus more on our own careers.  I kept the team running but with little help, had barely any time to teach and train the kids.  There are a couple of members who are in college and towards the end of their high school education that could take over, but they never seemed to be able to keep the group going.

After these two performances though, I really do think they have something going for them.  I really have to give it to them. I am quite impressed with the way they ran things and performed tonight.  Good job guys and girls!
