Dragon Dance

The dragon dance was started by the Chinese who had shown great belief and respect towards the dragon. The normal length and size of the body recommended for the dragon is 112 feet and is divided into 9 sections. The distance of each section is 14 inches apart therefore, the body has 81 rings. History tells us that the performances of dragon dance are in various different ways, types and colours. Green is selected as the main colour of the dragon which symbolises great harvest. Other colours include: yellow symbolising the solemn empire, golden or silver colours symbolising prosperity, red colour representing excitement while its scales and tail are mostly beautiful silver colours and glittering at all times which provides a feeling of joyous atmosphere.
