As tradition strikes again, lion dancers will be shimmering through the streets of Victoria’s Chinatown to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year.
The Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club dancers have been practicing for the annual Grand Parade and several other Lunar New Year performances set for Greater Victoria throughout February.
“For up to eight weeks in advance of the Chinese New Year season, our club will put the kung fu aside and put more time into training for the parades,” Daniel Low, who’s been lion dancing for 32 years, said in an interview.
