On Saturday 17th February at 12.00pm the Chinese Community Centre Lion Dance Troupe WA will be performing at Winthrop Village to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.

The Chinese Community Centre Lion Dance Troupe was established in Perth in 1978. The Chinese Community Centre Lion Dance Troupe is a part of the Chinese Community Centre (CCC), which is a not for profit community organisation that is involved in assisting members of the Chinese community as well as promoting cultural awareness in Perth. As there were a number of individuals in the CCC who had a strong passion for the Lion Dance, this lead to the formation of the CCC Lion Dance Troupe. The troupe is one of Perth’s oldest Lion Dance groups.

The lion dance is considered as an expression of martial arts and The CCC Lion Dance Troupe’s goal is to perform and promote this traditional art in their unique style. This ultimately contributes towards the promotion of the Chinese Culture and most importantly passes the traditional art to the future generations.
