Leung’s White Crane Lion & Dragon Dance Association
|
The three Leung brothers, Kuen, Kwan, and Allen Leung founded Leung’s
White Crane Lion and Dragon Dance School in 1971. Immigrating to the
United States in the 1960s, they brought with them a rare form of
martial art known as white crane, along with a life long devotion to
the lion dance.
There are many different kinds of lion dances with distinctive styles
and historical roots. Leung’s White Crane presents a Cantonese style
similar to the type preserved by Cantonese opera groups in the late
18th century. The group performs regularly at street fairs, New
Year’s parades, and family banquets.
