Lunar New Year Lion Dance at Mosley Middle School

In honor of the Lunar New Year, which began on Saturday, February 10th, Mosley Middle School celebrated the Year of the Dragon with a festive surprise for students. Mr. Minh-Triet Dao, Eighth-Grade ELA Teacher at Mosley, brought in his lion dance troupe to bring good luck and fortune to the school.
The Lunar New Year is celebrated in many Asian countries, including China, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and many more. One way we celebrate it is with lion dancing. This tradition dates back centuries to the Tang dynasty - Between 618 - 906 AD. Lion dancing is seen as a traditional way to welcome good luck and good fortune into the new year.
