For the last 7 or 8 months, I have been attempting to put together a lion dance out in Onoway. I'm not yet sure how its all going to turn out, however I am proud to say that my guys are working their butts off, and putting together something that resembles what I have in my head.
These guys are great, I have to say. I ask them to try some kamikaze stunt, and without a blink they attempt it (well, maybe a single blink). They try so hard to give me what I see in my head, even though my explanation is usually foggy and such. I know that sometimes what I say doesn't even make sense to me, however they try it out anyways.
I'm also happy to say that we attempted our first stacked rolls last Wednesday, and there were no casualties. Lei Bei is still as peppy as ever, and we are that much closer to putting together the dance. Now my only issue is mastering the double beat on the drum, and keeping the tempo even while giving my full attention to the lion in front of me.
Kudos to all SRKF lion dancers out there! Its not an easy task, and you all are fantastic!
