THE GOLDEN DRAGON DANCE

A FOLK DANCE

A man performing the Golden Dragon Dance in front of a crowd, bearing the Aaunic colors on his attire.

 

The Golden Dragon Dance is a folk-dance that is often performed during cultural festivities, weddings and birthdays. The dance is done by a man or woman who is imitating the movements of a dragon with her or his arms, the arms being a symbol of the wings. The man or woman, imitating the dragon, falls to his or her knees, leaps up, and dances with concise steps and strong, sharp arm and body movements.

 

The dance is performed at a semi-fast pace in terms of movement and semi-fast paced music. The dance can also be performed in pairs as the people who dance against each other will allow the spectators to decide who danced the best, such a “dance-off” is called “The Dragon Battle”, where one competitor is to wear a purple sash and the other competitor a  golden one.

 

The dance is nonexclusive to nobility only, but to everyone who inherits the Aaunic culture and shall always be allowed to be danced as a symbol of the proud Aaunic heritage.
