    WHAT IS DRAGON & LION DANCING?

    Dragon and lion dancing are two of the most vibrant dances performed in  Australia. They emerged more than 1,400 years ago in the Tang Dynasty (said to be the greatest imperial dynasty in ancient Chinese history) and are performed at royal wedding to bless the health and wealth of the king and his court.

    The dance has changed over time, but its intent remains – to drive away evil spirits and bring luck to the audience. Most often seen in Asian cultures during traditional Chinese festivals, dancers wield a wooden rod in each hand to control the movement of the lion’s head and body.

    This is followed by the sound of drums, cymbals and gongs that are synchronised to the lion or dragon’s dance and rhythm movements.

    WHY JIN WU KOON?

    Jin Wu Koon is one of Australia’s oldest troupes, founded in Sydney’s Chinatown in 1977. Our vision, is to combine Art x Culture x Sport to the highest level as we believe these three aspects of dragon and lion dance are the reason for the ever so progressive development of this ancient dance.

    Throughout this time, we have represented Australia in various competitions across the globe (including China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore) and were crowned ‘Western Lion King’ at the Genting World Lion Dance Championships in 2016.

    Art

    Our performances combine modern movements, rhythms and props, which compliment traditional techniques to create contemporary shows for any celebration. We embrace the long history of Dragon and Lion dancing while continually pushing the envelope to create exciting bespoke performance solutions.

    Culture

    Our dedicated team always aims to foster the appreciation of Chinese customs and traditions within the Australian community. As one of the oldest troupes in Sydney, we have also built strong relationships with communities and cultural groups, often combining to create unique multicultural performances.

    Sport

    We are best known for lion dance on poles where we have represented Australia in competitions in countries across the world (including China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore), and were crowned ‘Western Lion King’ at the Genting World Lion Dance Championship in 2016. Our coaches have decades of experience who seek further training and development from the world’s foremost masters and athletes.
