UM Dragon and Lion Team Fun Day was successfully held

The UM Dragon and Lion Dance Team Fun Day was successfully held on 4 Sep at N8 – Sports Pavilion, with over 80 UM students participating in the event.

The Office of Sports Affairs (OSA) organized this university team fun day to allow UM students to interact with team members and experience team training through designated teaching sessions.

On that day, to help participants better understand our UM Dragon and Lion Dance Team (currently consisting of 17 members), the team members prepared a brief introduction about the team and shared the fun and challenges of their training sessions. The team coach also joined the event to support the members, sharing past achievements and upcoming competitions. After introducing each team member, experience activities related to the dragon and lion dance were arranged, inviting student participants to play together with the team members, making them more engaged and active.

Dragon and lion dance is a traditional performance art with deep cultural significance, typically performed during festivals and celebrations to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. During the event, team members shared the history and cultural background of the dragon and lion dance, as well as introduced the basic techniques and rules. A demonstration performance was arranged, followed by an explanation of the rules. Participants were then invited to experience the training content, including basic skills and technical techniques.
