Tony Chuy's Lion Dance Team was established in 1983. We teach both the Northern and Southern styles of Lion Dance. Over the years, the team has performed on many occasions including opening ceremonies, parades, and New Year, birthday, and wedding celebrations. All performers are volunteers of the school. Any student who has been in the school for at least four months and is responsible, reliable, and who desires to learn this Chinese folk art and culture may apply for the team.
Director/Manager: Mr. Tony Chuy
Coaches: Raymond Lee, Vance Young
Coordinator: Jonathan Lung
