We were very excited to pack Miss Diva up and head to our first Chinese New Year celebration. We tried some chinese food we normally don't try, curry fish balls, was one, I didn't care for it to much but miss diva enjoyed them.
This is the senior dance! They were the first to perform. This is how the seniors in China get some of their exercise. I am thinking Thai Chi is another huge exercise , we saw a lot people doing thai chi in parks and in front of temples while in China.
The traditional lion dance. While watching this, it kind of gave me a peaceful feeling. Very interesting to watch.
This group of girls were doing a traditional mongolian dance, I was very interested to this considering miss diva is from Inner Mongolia. The dance is to show how proud they are of there beautiful land and culture.
These girls were very cute. There is a girl in this group that was room mates with Libby while in the orphanage in China. She is the girl behind the biggest girl in the front, slightly to the right , in the back roll. She is so adorable.
Mongolian dance
It was interesting to see that Miss Diva new these moves and was dancing right along with them. The vice president of the chinese cultural centre came to chat with us after. Asking how old she was and if we would be interested in enrolling her when old enough. Absolutely!
Every year, there is a different animal that is the symbol of that year. This year it's the dragon. Also, red in china means good luck and yellow smybolizes the dragon. This is why this group has red and yellow ribbons. Each year the red ribbons will remain but the yellow will change to the colour that symbolizies the next animal which is the snake.
