Learning How To Lion Dance ft. Jimmy Wong

[@bensonq]

Shout outs to all the Lion Dancers performing this Lunar New Year season!!

[@gentlecard_tom]

YAY!!! I miss lion dancing

[@bensonq]

@@gentlecard_tom what group did you perform with?

[@gentlecard_tom]

@@bensonq I wasn't really in a group but I was part of my school's team for three years. Most of the members were apart of Vanguard but I moved for college and stuff

[@bensonq]

@@gentlecard_tom Very cool! I've heard of the Vanguards :)

[@ryanluu4572]

Benson love how you still connected to team bro! Thanks for the good luck and shout out to us lion dancers bro!

[@heyrjayyy]

Phil and Jimmy missed out on an opportunity to name their pairing "Two Wongs Make A Right"

2:18 What everyone else sees: lion dance step routine What me, an intellectual sees: earthbending

[@Calida]

This was so fun! Team TayLe was so cuuuute ♡♡♡

[@joannashi]

They did the best eyelashes 😄

[@MartyD]

My mom didn’t want me to practice lion dancing at my kung fu school because she thought I would join a gang.

[@bensonq]

Tell your mom they all got arrested in the 90s. Lion Dancing is family friendly now! Stabbing incidents have decreased dramatically!

[@MartyD]

bensonq Hah a bit late for that! 😭

[@peteroffline6616]

I liked Taylors and Jenns performance

[@dianec8987]

We didn't get to see Benson perform!!

[@kappecat9225]

My sister and little brother used to go to a Buddhist school in our county. This made me all nostalgic for when we would attend their honoring elders day celebration and other occasions. The kids were amazing performers and the food was delicious.

[@acyw123]

What?? Was expecting benson to perform at the end!!

[@asherwells401]

Love seeing all the different teams in the comments! Great video Benson and Wong Fu!

[@bensonq]

Thanks! Gotta keep the tradition alive!

[@vy3356]

LOVE THIS VIDEO. Lion dancers represent!

[@ananyameka932]

U bout to be blessed yo -Taylor 2020 😂😂😂

[@ladymex07]

I love this! This awesome! Thank you for sharing bits of your culture with us 😊.

[@dnangelxxx77]

Hi Wongfu! Long time fan and usually never post comments, but today will be the first! I thought it was great timing this video was posted (obv bc of LNY) but also because I volunteered to be a lion head at my Chinese school's celebration this weekend... I have no experience and have no idea what I'm doing. This video was funny and informative. Will definitely be using Benson's routine! Thanks for the awesome lesson :D

[@bensonq]

That's awesome! Hopefully you're able to stick with Lion dancing onward! It's very fun :)

[@dnangelxxx77]

@@bensonq Thank you!! 😊

[@jjstarrprod]

That kicked ass ! You guys look like you got a lot of fun doing it ! I had some flashbacks from Once upon a time in China. Maybe a future Wong Fu Hong production ^^ ? Cheers ! Happy new year of the rat ! Not only is it a new decade (2020) but even more so, it's also the start of a new lunar zodiac cycle of 12 years. Truly the beginning of a new era. Enjoy it, the next one will be in 60 years !

[@ValorsoraEX]

Gotta love Phil's iconic laugh at 7:33

@Jacky Phantom not sure why u telling me this. i never said anything that it is the same or different? and i sure everything 200 years ago was very different. times will change things. its natural to change

[@wawawho18]

@Jacky Phantom i dont know why u lecturing me on this topic..all i said in the original comment..was that this is awesome and greetings from so and so team.....

[@wawawho18]

@Jacky Phantom and how do u know what was done in the old days..were u alive in the old days?...lol..i sure back then there was no videos cameras to actually see what was done in the old days..so i am positive it has changed

[@JenniferHuangDeng22]

I love watching this so much!! Is so fun seeing you guys learning how to lion dance.

[@master_leeroy]

i use to do lion dance back in high school, did it for 4 years, and i was cringing a long, but at the same time, the swap is a pretty advance move, i didnt learn it until my second year doing it, so prop to you guys. I had to learn jumps first, and those were the day when i couldn't feel my legs, after jumping like nearly 500 times in just one day of practice, not just any jumps, but max out jumps, from all the way down in a squad to like 5 feet into the air. i had legs of steal tho, so that was fun. haha.

[@lcc726]

Wheres the drums guys?

[@bensonq]

We had a sequence where I did teach them the instruments but wasn't able to fit it into the final edit :/

[@diw2756]

7:30 Taylor: you’re about to be bless! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kylieeats1639]

i never knew i wanted to lion dance until i saw this!

[@bensonq]

Try to find a local group and try it out! It's lots of fun :)

Awww... Benson isn’t wearing our new shirts!

[@bensonq]

thanks for not calling me out on the pants lol. very fast turnaround on this video haha!

[@markusq]

Lol. It’s all good. 😛

[@stoplightslaw]

Should hve added the drums and music that plays in the background while they were perfroming to get the full experience rather than the commentary lol

[@lilPopper]

I love doing lion dancing. It's a requirement to learn it at my Kung Fu club.

[@lilPopper]

@Lars Chue the horse stance.....every martial artist's frienemy

[@shanhu5769]

Am I a bad Asian, if I say I dont like lion dance? 😂😅 Idk, something about it just creeped me out as a kid, and it has carried on into adulthood.

[@mainamain5899]

Maybe you have evil soul in you. Lion dance is performed to drive away evil spirits 👀👀👀 . . . Just kidding 😁

[@shanhu5769]

@@mainamain5899 lol, nah, just pure anxiety. Wish they could drive that out, too. 😉

[@yongjieteng1544]

Why do they paste a duct tape over the logos on their shirt

[@kkz201]

I loved all routines! For next "competions", I suggest not cutting to Phil's reactions while others are performing
