Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to a Sunday practice at 227 N 10th St, from 1 to 2:30 pm. Email liondance@phillysuns.org first if you want to ask questions..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Practice runs about 90 minutes on Sundays, from the weekend after Labor Day until Lunar New Year. Sessions cover drumming and the instruments, basic lion moves such as stalking and walking, and routines for performances. The page does not state a fee, what to wear, or how often you need to come.

Tips for your first visit

  • The practice is at 227 N 10th St in Chinatown; the page gives no parking or transit details.
  • The page gives no dress rules, so ask by email what to wear before your first practice.
  • The season begins the weekend after Labor Day, so practices run only a few months before Lunar New Year.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The page says anyone who wants to learn is welcome, at all ages and skill levels, and it gives a practice time and an email address..
