With skies threatening rain, some good fortune was needed. What better way to bring luck than a special Lion Dance from the Kwan family followed by the Wah Lum Kung Fu Dragon Dance.

Kwan Family Chinese Lion Dance at Cleveland Asian Festival

In the first of 3 Lion dance videos, George Kwan explains how his family has been performing the Lion Dance for over 30 years and how the dance brings good fortune to those who watch.

The loud noises and lion did not scare this little girl who offered an orange to the lion.
