Lion & Dragon Dancing in Northern Virginia
Lion & Dragon Dancing for Northern Virginia residents, across the American Legion Bridge from our school in Kensington.
Looking for lion & dragon dancing in Northern Virginia? Shaolin Hung Fut Kung Fu School teaches lion & dragon dancing to Northern Virginia students of every age, across the American Legion Bridge in Kensington — an easy trip from American Legion Bridge and Capital Beltway (I-495). Train in person on Nicholson Court, starting with a one-hour introductory class.
Our traditional lion and dragon dancing class preserves this important cultural art, and the team is available to book for events.
Lion and dragon dancing are among the oldest living traditions we carry. Hung Fut Kung Fu and the techniques used in lion dancing are closely intertwined, and we teach the authentic, traditional Hung Fut methods passed to us from Grandmaster Yim. Our teams perform with full instrumentation (drums, cymbals and gongs) at every event. The crowd-engaging lion and the long dragon carried on poles by a whole team are available to book for grand openings, Lunar New Year, weddings and community celebrations.
A short trip from Northern Virginia
We draw students from the Virginia side of the river too, crossing the American Legion Bridge and coming up the Beltway to the Rockville Pike exits, then one turn onto Nicholson Lane. From McLean, Tysons and Arlington it is a straightforward run outside the rush, and the tie is an old one: Sifu Tai Yim opened a second Hung Fut school in Fairfax, Virginia in the late 1980s.
From Northern Virginia the school is across the American Legion Bridge, at 4961 Nicholson Court in Kensington. Each enrolled adult student also gets a full access membership to the 20,000 sq ft gym we are located in, at no additional cost.
