The Dragon Dance is a popular event in traditional Chinese culture, especially during Chinese New Year celebrations. Originating during the Han Dynasty, the dance is carried out by a team of performers that carry the dragon on poles. Drums, cymbals, and gongs are used with this characteristic dance using only the first six notes learned. Enjoy!
