The dance requires artists’ skillful and meticulous techniques in each move. Different colors in the dance signify strength, beauty and luck.

The Lion dance is performed during festivals, at inauguration ceremonies, at temples and pagodas on festive days and in urban and rural areas on special days with the hope for luck, success and good fortune.

PANO would like to introduce some images of the lion dance on the traditional Tet of 2018 in Dong Nai province.
