nice lion Fook sing lions good job love the lion I have a lion just like that

National Freestyle Lion Dance Competition. It was held twice in San Francisco, hosted by GeeYung.

@giochanni FYI some of those teams you mentioned started all that, the fireworks and extra flare to performances. open your mind to new things, youll be surprised.

Good stuff! Do you have the rest of the NFLDC vids? I'd really like to see the rest! I tried buying the DVD but got no response. =/

@SurfingCamel not to be picky but National Freestyle Lion Dance Championship ;-)

unfortunately probably never. Did you hear about/make it to the Beyond the Pride event in Irvine last month? A little closer to San Diego and supposed to be an annual event.

Umm, it's called "showmanship" and at competitions it counts toward the artistic expression score

wut does NFLDC mean?

@Sandiegopadres112 Sorry, not at this time. Wouldn't want to violate copyright too badly! :)

Are you implying that East Asian teams have a lock on what's right and what's wrong? And yes I have seen them include choreography for the musicans. I've also seen very well known and respected traditional teams do some pretty untraditional things. Guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. It's good to show respect to all teams who take the time to come up with creative routines, practice hard and spread the art.
