W.O.W. Lions

Our Lion Dance Troupe

Our all-woman, queer, and trans lion dance troupe first performed during Lunar New Year 2025. We perform traditional Cantonese style lion dance accompanied by drum, gong, and cymbals. We perform annually for W.O.W. Project’s Lunar New Year programming, and have also performed at public and private events in Chinatown, other New York neighborhoods, and in Texas.
