The team’s mission is to:
- promote the traditions of traditional and modern Chinese lion dancing styles to the future generation
- contribute to the enrichment of multiculturalturalism in Manitoba
- provide an opportunity for youths to be involved in the preservation of their culture
Accomplishments[edit]
The troupe’s accomplishments include placing third in the North American Lion Dance Festival 2007 as well as establishing connections within the Chinese community and major businesses around the city.
The majestic, colourful lions enhance the atmosphere with incredible sights, sounds, and fun that comes with a Flying Lions performance. No matter the occasion, be it Chinese New Year’s, a wedding, birthday, anniversary, grand opening or banquet, we would love to help you celebrate!
