Dragon Dance

The Dragon Dance is a spectacular tradition from Chinese culture. Manipulated by a team of 10 people, the undulating dragon symbolises luck, strength and prosperity. This activity combines artistic expression, teamwork and agility, while offering a convivial moment to celebrate culture and share a truly festive spirit.
