Update: I originally referred to this group and event as Dragon Dances and Dragon Dancers and today I received and email from the drummer for this group, Bao Giang, who kindly informed me that they aren’t Dragon Dancers, but they are Lion Dancers. My apologies to Bao and his friends. Accordingly I have change the reference in these posts to reflect the more accurate name. Thanks Bao!
Today I went to our local international and Asian food market because I heard there was going to be a Chinese New Year performance. Boy, I’m glad I went. We don’t have what would amount to a Chinatown here in Albuquerque but today’s performance makes me wish we did. I’m posting this shot as a little teaser today as I need some more time to process the images. Please check back over the next week for more images.
