The Northern Lion


The Northern Lion look pretty much like a Beijing dog which its whole body is covered with fur. Northern Lions are normally performed in pairs sometimes, they will have the little ones as well so it pairs up to 2 adult lion and 2 baby lion. There is a difference in colour between the pairs. The one with a red ribbon on its head is the male lion and the green ribbon represents the female lion. Only Northern Lions have difference in male and female, southern lion don’t.
Northern Lions perform in pairs with one person holding the ball to make the lions follow the ball as if an animal chasing after some moving object.Their dancing style very much focus on the active and playful movement.They leap on tables, chairs, and giant wooden balls, spinning 360 degree, Front flipping and rolling over one another.
