Chinese New Year lions do the shuffle

by Amy Nguyen on January 19, 2012

Chinese New Year is coming up, which means lots of red money envelopes, “good luck” foods, and lion dances. I’ve always been a fan of the lion dance. The loud drums and clanging cymbals, paired with the choreographed movements gets me excited without fail. But one thing I’ve never seen the lions do is the “shuffle,” made famous in America by the pop group, LMFAO. I wonder if shufflin’ would bring more happiness and prosperity. Either way, it’s an awesome dance. And it’s even more awesome when it’s done by two furry, colorful lions. Check it out below (shuffle starts 1:42)!
