There are 2 different type of lions, the Southern and the Northern.
The Northern lion dance focuses more on jumping and playing with props, such as walking on balls and playing on the see-saw. Usually 2 lions (a male & a female) will perform together, and along with either 1 or 2 baby lions. They look like a family and
play together happily.
The Southern lion dance focuses on styles and footsteps
during the performce. Sometimes the lions is lead by the big head buddha. Other
times the lion dance focus on jumping on to poles and walking on wires.
