Asiafest at Plano, Texas. Lion dance. Very athletic lion, jumping up on platforms, and being fierce. Traditionally done at the start of enterprises, for protection.

Note lion operator below head.
Oh, my! How fierce!!!
Great photos too! I love that second one showing the "operator". That's a little boy, right?
Middle School Girl. She's one of a troupe from a local martial arts academy. They do drum concerts, lion dance, etc.
Wow she is talented. These are great. I have only seen something like this on TV.

I love drums. Those drums must sound amazing. Wonderful pictures!
