The Chinese lion requires a coordinated pair of lion dancers: one dancer in the head, one dancer in the tail. The Chinese dragon dance requires a line of ten or more “dancers” to support the dragon’s head and tail. Dragon dancers walk under, rather than in, the dragon, usually in a circular or serpentine pattern.
