Hi, since my opera teacher (who is a jack-of-all-trades) left for China a year ago, I had been subsituting for his lion dance class in local Chinese School. We accomplished a lot considered the circumstances. Since they are all only in middle school/high school, we are limited in strength and practice time (once a week, more if performance is coming up).

However, I really want to take the class one step further and learn the true fundamentals and some basic steps/procedures. Before taking over the class I considered joining a local Kung-Fu school... but now I don't think I can, due to time and the fact that I will be teaching other kids what I learned, which is probably a taboo.

I am wondering if there are any good sources I can learn from? Can you recommand any Tape or DVD, or web site desigend for Cantonese style tutorial? I am especially in different important rules like when it's necessary to bow three times to the audience... etc etc.

Thank you so much!

There is one video by Sifu Kam and two by Sifu Tat ma Wong...you can get them through Wing Lam Enterprizes. Also there is a lot of info in the Lions Cave website archives.
