Founded in 1983, hailed as one of the five most prestigious performing ensembles in the state of Michigan by the Michigan Council for the Arts, the Award winning Asian Martial Arts Lion Dance Troupe is made up of members chosen from within the kungfu program. Along with regular martial arts training, they join special weekly classes in the art of Chinese lion dance. It must be noted that Chinese lion dancing is an extension of the Chinese martial arts, and traditionally is always performed by martial artists. The dancers go through extensive training in the many intricate steps and body movements that form the basis of the lion dance, as well as the use of various percussion instruments and their traditional rhythms which accompany the dance.
