At MIT The MIT Lion Dance Club is a lion dance group based in Boston. We have been performing all over the East Coast for over 10 years now (since 1994), and have established a reputation for themselves. We became an official club at MIT in 1997. We use the Southern Lion and perform mostly choreographed sequences with two or three lions. We generally perform in what is known as the Hong Gar (also Hung Gar) style to mostly three-star but some seven-star movements/beats. Hong Gar style was founded by Hung Hei Gwoon. It is the style that was practiced by the famous kung fu master, Wong Fei Hong and his father Wong Kai Ying. It is a lot of fun, particularly working with children. In general, we usually perform around Chinese New Year, but are availible most of the year. See examples of MIT Lion Dance performances. If you would like to request a performance, use this form. Here's the MIT Lion Dance Constitution. |
