Happy Year of the Rooster!
On 27 January 2017, Wayland Li Martial Arts Centre performed a spectacular lion dance at the CNTV Chinese New Year Gala (加拿大国家电视台深圳之夜2017海外春晚). Our performance featured 12 lions, two Buddha Heads and our percussionist team. A job well done by all the lion dancers and parent volunteers, and of course the hard work and planning of Shifu Li.
