Dragon dance

Imagine a big parade with lots of music and colors. Now, add a very long dragon made out of many people dressed up in bright, shiny costumes. This is a dragon dance!

The dragon is not a real dragon like we see in stories, but instead, it is a symbol of power and good luck. It is a very important part of Chinese culture and is often performed during special occasions like Chinese New Year or weddings.

The people inside the dragon costume move around in a very special way. They make the dragon's body look like it is moving and dancing. They use big poles with ribbons on them to make the dragon's movements look even more exciting.

People in the parade play music with drums and cymbals to make the dragon dance even more fun. Sometimes, people even feed the dragon lettuce or other foods as a symbol of good luck and fortune.

The dragon dance is a great way to celebrate and bring joy to everyone who sees it.
