A Junior Library Guild Selection Former best friends become bitter rivals when one returns to lion dancing after a long absence in this vibrant and heartfelt middle grade graphic novel perfect for fans of Haikyu!! and Fence. Young Wei dreamed of being a legendary lion dancer just like his dad. With his best friend Hung performing as the tail and Wei controlling the head, he knew they could become the next generation of lion dance champions. But after his dad’s sudden passing, Wei abruptly quits lion dancing—and his friendship with Hung. Years later, Wei is stuck…in life, in school, and on the bench at games. That is, until he crashes a junior lion dance practice and feels his long-sleeping passion wake up within him once more. The team is happy to have another member to carry on the tradition, especially as one as preternaturally talented as Wei. There’s just one person who doesn’t want him there: the self-proclaimed star, Hung. As Wei and Hung fight to be considered the top lion dancer, both will have to learn how to face their mistakes head-on and remember what it really means to be part of a team.

Lion dance has been in Singapore since the 1930s and is closely connected with the Chinese clans that organised the first troupes, with some of these clans hailing as far back as the 1800s. Chronicling the history of lion dance, therefore, is akin to chronicling the pioneering years of our nation. However, few books document the history of this art form in Singapore.This book is the first of its kind to introduce the history, culture, sport and performance art that is lion and dragon dance in English. It will cover the types of dances and costumes, symbolisms and values embedded in the lion and dragon dance communities. It will tell the stories of Singaporean lion and dragon dance pioneers which have never before appeared in any English publications. It will also feature interviews with current leaders in the community and share our hopes for the future of the art form in Singapore.

Lion dancers are the new sensations in Asia, and none are as charming or handsome as US import Ricky Ang. But while the rest of the Leopop boys aspire to be the lion head, Ricky would rather goof around as the big head doll. Ironically, drummer girl Ong Ying Ying is the biggest cynic of this Leopop wave. “Don’t fall for a lion dancer,” her mother had always warned her. “He will break your heart.”

During Tet Lunar New Year and other cultural events, multiple lion dance companies maneuver their way through the Asian Garden Mall in the heart of Little Saigon in Orange County, California. These groups perform outside of individual shops and for crowds gathered to celebrate Vietnamese culture. Storeowners within the mall hire companies such as the Anê Thành Lion Dance Troupe from Westminster, claiming that lion dancers bring luck and prosperity to their businesses through the ritual. While the dances seem to provide unmediated cultural expression, lion dances reveal additional narratives--ones that align with capitalism and multiculturalism. I argue that lion dances are integral to the economic ecosystem within the Asian Garden Mall, especially during New Year festivities, because they enable the sale of culture through their stimulation of an affective response tied to consumption. Furthermore, the choreographies present in the cai qing, or "getting the greens" portion of lion dances fit within economic agendas specific to the sociopolitical matrix of Little Saigon, allowing lion dances to become easily integrated as major cultural performances of the Vietnamese diaspora. In addition to their incorporation into the economic sphere, many aspects of lion dances simultaneously challenge dominant discourses surrounding economic ideologies and symbolic cultural spaces. I focus on the Asian Garden Mall as a microcosmic example of these complex forces to tease out their implications for lion dance companies and other cultural workers performing culture in ethnically designated locations.
