Delmanor Prince Edward's Chinese New Year Celebration!

Residents and Guests of Delmanor Prince Edward celebrated Chinese New Year by watching a traditional Chinese fan dance, a tradition that has been a part of China's heritage for over two thousand years! Considered to be an ancient form of folk dance, the Chinese Fan Dance is used to help pass down stories and traditions of Chinese culture to future generations. 



The Chinese Fan Dancers at Delmanor Prince Edward entertained residents and guests by using fans as props and wearing complimenting brightly-colored costumes for an eye-catching spectacle of movement & artistic expression.

Most frequently paired with the Chinese New Year is the Dragon Dance. Chinese Dragons are a symbol of China as they are believed to bring good luck to people. The longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it is believed that it will bring to the community. The Residents of Delmanor Prince Edward enjoyed the flowing, majestic movements of the dragon dance.  The Chinese dragon dance, especially during New Year celebrations, is a symbol of the historical role that dragons have played demonstrating their power and dignity within Chinese culture.
