Wu Lan Lion Dance Team

Wu Lan Lion Dance Team Wu Lan is a semi-Traditional Lion Dance team that entertains, educates and blesses with good luck. Wu Lan was founded in May 2011.

We are led by Tim and Tyler Tran, who were both seasoned veterans of GDPT Nguyen Thieu Youth Group's Lion Dance team. We are passionate about our culture and art and want to share the joy with the rest of the world. Our name means "Five Lions" - five is a lucky number that repeats in Chinese culture, and lions are the bringers of good luck. As with our name, we have five core principles. Strength

Pride
Respect
Passion
Freedom

Our biggest celebrations come around The Lunar New Year, where we ward off evil spirits and bring in good luck. But we perform for any occasion: weddings, birthday parties, and educational showcases are just some of the major events we cover. So give us a call and we'll bring in the luck!

It's been a very long time coming. The Wu Lan lions finally awoke from their slumber to bring joy and bless the people ...

It's been a very long time coming. The Wu Lan lions finally awoke from their slumber to bring joy and bless the people with good luck. However, they danced beside the young lions of GDPT Nguyen Thieu Lion Dance Team. As proven veterans, the Wu Lan lions showed them how things were done, mentored and gave advice. It is time for the new generation of lions to rise. I'm proud of how far we got, so now the Wu Lan lions get to finally rest...until the next time they're needed.

It's been a long time since the last post. The members of Wu Lan have been keeping at it with their busy lives. Whether it be work or schooling. The lions of Wu Lan lay dormant as another year passes by, dust collecting on their fur. The instruments remain silent. But soon, very soon, the thunderous drum and crashing cymbals will awaken them again. Wu Lan will return in full force, highly motivated and energized, giving our all in all performances. It's been a long four years, it's about time someone starts waking these lions.

The story of the Chinese Lion Dance.

It's been a long time since I've posted. Members have grown and left to journey their own paths. Seasons have come and gone without a Wu Lan lion dancing and bringing the thrill and joy to everyone young and old. Wu Lan has done so much that I am proud of since I left for the army.
I'm excited to announce that 2017 will be the year that lions of Wu Lan will awaken from their long slumber. New faces will join our ranks and bring life back to our lions!

Happy Year of the Goat! Though we may be on a hiatus this year, our spirit still lives on! Best wishes to all of us from Wu Lan!

Even all the way out here in Afghanistan...I long to dance again. I miss the thunder of the drums and the crashes of the cymbals and gong. I miss the weighty feel of the lion and the smell of the fur and paper of its body. The adrenaline as the drums rumble to life. The thrill of dancing. I need to dance again!
