For the first time ever, 20 of Malaysia’s top dragon dance troupes will gather to compete for the coveted Dragon King title in a full-day championship that reimagines one of Asia’s most iconic cultural performances. Each team will showcase their coordination, athleticism and creativity in a breathtaking fusion of glowing scales, rhythmic drumming and gravity-defying stunts designed to captivate audiences.
Consulted by the Catholic High School Alumni Association Dragon & Lion Dance Troupe, the championship adds a new dimension to the traditional art form with the introduction of a creative props segment. Each troupe is challenged to design and incorporate original elements that enhance their choreography and storytelling. This innovation transforms the dragon dance into a multi-dimensional performance art, showcasing each team’s craftsmanship, imagination, and cultural depth, while delivering a visually spectacular narrative of light, motion, and emotion.
