Kung Hei Fat Choy! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

It’s the Chinese New Year‘s eve and Robinsons has something up its sleeve for everyone, Chinoy or not.

To herald the Year of the Metal Tiger, Robinsons Place General Santos is featuring a Dragon and Lion Dance right at their mall, today, Saturday, February 13, 2010!

This spectacle, one known as the Dragon Dance, which I am certain will be the first of everyone here in GenSan, is a traditional Chinese dance usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other fesivals to bring in good fortune and prosperity.

The dragons, which are regarded as symbols of great power and royalty by the Chinese, and used in these dances are usually made up of sections of bamboo frames draped with silk. Performers under the frames move their bodies rhythmically and synchronise their steps so that the dragon appears to move gracefully.

The Lion dance on the other hand is often used by the Chinese to bless a venue and as a ceremony to exorcise evil spirits. Just like the Dragon Dance, it is also performed to summon good luck and fortune.

While the Dragon Dance is performed by many people, the Lion Dance only needs two dancers. That will avoid any confusion on your part as you witness this afternoon’s Dragon and Tiger Dance at the Robinsons Place GenSan.

Bring the whole family and see you there!

The Dragon and Tiger Dance starts at 2pm.
