Lion dance with traditional lions long tail is a little different then the modern lions with short tail. Especially there is no contact with the lion head dancer. So it’s all by sight which is not easy. I did and see lion dancing for over 45 years. NYC lion dance is different I’m from Philly. I used to lion dance for Hip Sing Association back in the days. We used to go to NYC on request to help them do lions. I never went bc I was only in my early teens. But back then if you under the tail it wasn’t easy with all the firecrackers that people used to throw. Streets literally would be red. This lion dance group is based off Kung fu FutShan style lion dance not the now popular cat style lion dance. Lion man probably knows what I’m talking about.

@@nycchinatownlionman When you are in a crowd with the Lion the whole body of the Lion need to represent a Lion together with the tail not by holding the tail even though is the beginning and I dont think New York Lion dance can do a better dance than so many countries I have seen and I see they dont even know how to dance...Lion dance they coordinate with the feet and the back and they can use their head to react with charm hearing the beat of the drum ...
