As the Year of the Dragon beckons, the age old tradition of lion and dragon dances pick up even more speed this year. In ancient times, they were used as a way to pray for rain or to scare away monsters: but it's now a symbolic ritual used to bring good luck, fortune and good wishes.

Audrey and Ryan explore the history of this art, and talk about the amount of work (physical and cultural) that goes into keeping it alive!
