Tiger Training - Lesson 3

Let out the lion in you!

What would Chinese New Year be without the colourful parade of larger-than-life lion masks and undulating dragon bodies dancing to the beat of the drums? While originally done to protect the villages from evil spirits, these days traditional Chinese lion dancers practise the art simply because it's fun. So grab your friends, get into the groove, and show us your own Habbo lion dance!

What do I need to do?
· Get together a team of lion dancers. Your team must have 3-5 Habbos.
· Choreograph your own lion dance routine. Feel free to add your own flair to your song-and-dance number — the more imaginative, the better! Plus, we always love a good laugh, so ham it up for the camera! Your entire video must not be more than 3 minutes long.
· Record your Habbo lion dance performance using Camtasia or any other screencasting software. There are loads of them available on the Internet, both for PCs and Macs.
Grab the list of screencasting software! »
· Upload your finished video on YouTube.
· Email your submission to competitions.sg [at] sulake.com with the email title 'Tiger Year Lion Dance' and include the following info:
- The name of your group
- The members of your group
- The YouTube URL of your video
