Dragon Dance
Nashville Dragon Dance Team was established in 2012 at the Year of the Dragon.
This dragon was rebuilt by 50 volunteers and artists over 3 month after cutting 1500 scales to finished. We replaced all the posts to revive this old dragon in 2011.
Our dragon stretch to 60 feet long, and takes 10 strong men and women to make this dragon alive. Dragons play an important role in Chinese culture and history. It is considered divine and auspicious animal with nobility. They symbolize strength, power, and wisdom.
