The Lion Dance

During the third to fifth day of the New Year, students from martial arts studios perform the lion dance in front of the stores to scare away the evil spirit and bring good wishes to the shopkeepers. Unlike the dragon dance, the lion dance has a crew of two and the dancers are able to manipulate the lion's eyes, mouth, ears, and head.
