Description
Physical demands and deep-rooted patriarchal attitudes have long excluded women from lion dancing, but one troupe in southern China is training female dancers in an attempt to revitalise the tradition.
Performed across China and around the world, at weddings or during business openings, the lion dance is a mainstay of Lunar New Year celebrations, which begin on Wednesday. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
