The lion dance is usually performed at important occasions and special celebrations. The lion is considered an auspicious creature in Chinese culture, and its design is actually a combination of several animals including the lion, dragon, and mythical unicorn. The short performance you are about to see today is called “Eating the Greens” which is a traditional part of a lion dance routine. The lions will make three approaches to a head of lettuce placed before them. The lions will inspect the lettuce, and then eat the lettuce. And then, the most important part of the performance is when the lions toss the lettuce leaves out, NOT BECAUSE THE LIONS DO NOT LOVE A VEGAN MEAL, but because the green leaves represent vibrancy and good luck and it symbolizes showering the audience with good fortune. 2016 NYC Veggie Pride Parade The LION DANCE is a form of traditional dance in Chinese and Asian culture.
