This article provides information on Lion Dancing in New York City's Chinatown during the first and seventh days of the Lunar New Year. Individual groups animating color giant papier-mache and silk lions weave their way from door to door to exorcize the evil spirits and to bring the blessings of good luck to businesses and social organizations. The dancers are students from the local gung fu schools of marital arts; in the ritual act they boldly demonstrate their strength, vitality, and skill. At this time Chinatown resembles a war zone--ignited firecrackers fill the air with deafening explosions and dense smoke, leaving the streets blanketed with lucky red paper debris. The sounds of drums, gongs, and cymbals herald the lions' approach--a signal for people to leave their jobs or private family celebrations to witness the festivities in the streets. The Lion Dance is the premier performance of Chinese martial arts. It is a ritual act that occurs in a variety of contexts, ranging from the funeral services of important or wealthy people to civic festivals and secular parties.
