Chinese New Year 2011

This week was Chinese New Year and the NCCMA along with the Northern Lions, Lion Dance team, performed at many different locations around the area in this special time of the year in the Chinese Calendar.

Along with numerous performances at Schools in the Harrogate area, Stuart and his team have been explaining to the Children, what the Lion dance involves, means and of course letting them have a go themselves.

On the evenings of 2nd February and 3rd, there were some very special performances at the Royal Baths Chinese Restaurant in Harrogate. This prestigious Chinese Restaurant located in the Royal Baths is a spectacular venue. The Restaurant were so pleased with the event of last year, they asked us to perform two dates!

Below are a selection of pictures kindly taken by Tim Hardy (http://www.timhardy.co.uk) of the first night. The team consisted of 2 main lions, 1 medium lion, 2 little lions, a Buddha, a drummer and 3 musicians.

If you would like the Lion Team to appear at an event either during the New Year celebrations or in fact at any event (weddings, shops openings, restaurants - whatever!), then please get in touch with us. New Year is always busy, so book early!

Til next time, have a great year - of the Rabbit!
