Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration at the World Financial Center

Earlier today, the New York Chinese Cultural Center sponsored the Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration at the World Financial Center. Several gravity-defying acrobatics, folk dances, lion dance, and festive musical ensembles were featured in the celebration. Prior to the program, young audiences learned traditional techniques of paper cutting, dough figurines, face painting and calligraphy.

Excellent pictures of the Chinese Lunar Celebration in NYC! Fantastic Chinese dancers and calligraphy. I wish we had a large performance stage here in San Francisco in 2012, Year of the Dragon, to showcase the Chinese and Vietnamese cultures in their celebration of the lunar year new. Thank you for posting all of your awesome pictures from Broadway, Events, Mounted Police Unit and more. Cheers!
