Year of the Dragon Celebration

Celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon with students of the Chinese American International School presenting Chinese classical music and dances from Chinese ethnic minorities, ending with a playful lion dance. The lion dance is an important part of every New Year celebration and is believed to scare away evil spirits and ensure a bright new beginning. Hunt for dragons on an Art Explorers’ family tour; listen to dragon stories; create a dragon puppet or paint a dragon netsuke.
