NUS Lion Dance
The NUS Lion Dance was founded in 1985 and officially joined the NUS Centre For the Arts (CFA) in 2004. The group was formed by NUS undergraduates and alumni who shared a mutual love and passion for Chinese lion dancing. Within a year, the troupe has grown to become one of Singapore's more known dance troupes, making numerous special appearances not only during the Lunar New Year festive season but throughout the year on and off campus.
The group aims to promote Lion Dance as a cultural form to NUS community and raise awareness from within campus towards nationwide. It is also a leading example for all Lion Dance institutional troupes in Singapore.
It hopes to represent NUS and Singapore at national and international Lion Dance competitions in the coming years. With more competition experiences, the group aims to organize a National Lion Dance Competition for all educational institutions to encourage more schools to participate in this healthy art.
