Lion Dance is one of the performances that I really enjoy watching till today.
The acrobatic lion dance performance by world champion Kwong Ngai Lion Dance Troupe (from Kepong) held at the Oval concourse area in 1 Utama shopping complex on sunday January 18, 2009 thrilled shoppers and tourists with spirited display of acrobatic skills and striking stunts.
Enjoy the photo gallery!
The show opened with a performance by a drummer executing acrobatic feats synchronized to the accompaniment of cymbals and gongs in a percussive celebration of rhythm.
