CANBERRA LION DANCE

Prosperous Mountain Dragon and Lion Dance (PMDLD), also known as Canberra Lion Dance, was formed by youths in 2007 to become Canberra's first locally-based lion dance troupe.

​

We are a small but growing non-profit community organisation. We welcome people of all ages and nationalities to participate in this fun, physical, and traditional art form. We train and perform different routines throughout the year and have a wide range of different vibrant lions and dragons to suit any occasion.

​

We have proven delivery of culturally authentic, immersive and high quality performances for any event. Our powerful percussion and friendly mascots heightens the experience. 

​

Our 14 years of performing across Canberra and the region, as well as interstate, provides confidence that we can tailor the best performance for any sized event, and your guests will always enjoy a memorable performance!

​

We love performing for community events, private functions such as weddings, birthdays and grand openings, and also continue to perform at high profile events due to our proven track record of always delivering high quality performances.
