Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We did an impromptu performance on stage for Cory Wong at the Mission Ballroom for the Chinese New Year. It was an amazing experience to share the stage with such a talented performer and team. The energy of the sold out venue was something we'll never forget.


What's your favourite type of event?

We have the opportunity to perform at many types of events but weddings hold a special place in our hearts. Being able to be a part of a couple's special day and help them bring joy to their families and friends is something we never get tired of.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Our team has over 100 years of combined experience, with many performers having individual experience over a decade. Most of the performers have been performing together since the early 2000s. We perform around a hundred events a year, including weddings, grand openings, corporate events, concerts, festivals, birthdays, and more.


What makes you different from others offering something similar?

We love working with our clients to create events that are unique to their needs. We've been fortunate to have had the chance to collaborate with so many cultures and music styles. We performed for a Chinese-Jewish wedding, with lions participating in the Hora during the wedding. We've done Danza Azteca and Dragon dance crossovers within our community. All of these events create unique memories for us and our clients that we are extremely grateful for.

Something that's unique about our group is that we operate under a non-profit model. Our organization is a 501(c)(3) and when our performers aren't busy performing for events, they spend their time passing on these skills to the next generation. 100% of our performance revenue goes back into the organization to provide FREE classes to youth and young adults in the community.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typically arrive 45 minutes to 1-hour before the performance start time. For special events or events requiring additional staging, we are able to arrive earlier. Depending on wait time, an additional fee may apply.

Performances vary in duration depending on performance packages. We are able to perform multiple sets in one day and build custom packages for events that require longer support.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We do many festival events outdoors and are happy to perform outside, weather permitting. All of our Dragon and Lion dance costumes are hand-made and imported from overseas, so we are not able to perform in heavy rain or snow.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous performers would describe us as a high energy, bright group with interactive performances and flexibility.


Can what you offer be tailored to the event or the audience?

Absolutely! We do many custom events throughout the year. Let us know what you are thinking and we will do our best to work with you.
