(传统文化)Have you ever seen lion dancing?The lions dance to the beat of a drum. Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costumes(服装). Centuries ago, lion dancing first started in China. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head, the other controls the tail.
“I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. Anthony performs as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says.

In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceME is a lion dancing group in San Francisco. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda, a 17-year-old girl.
Lion dancing will continue to develop. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says. “It’s great because we always have each other’s back.”
