The Chung Wah Lion Dance Troupe came together in Perth during the late 1960s by a group of overseas engineering students from Chrismas Island with past Lion Dance experience. They got together and performed at restaurants, private functions, parties and cultural shows. They soon became known as the WA Lion Dance Troupe in the early 1970s. There are two distinct style of Lion Dance, F*k Shan and Ho

k Shan. The pioneers of this troupe created their own unique style of lion dance incorporating both the F*k Shan and the Hok Shan styles to have the better of both styles. The troupe soon faced problems with lack of new members, but luckily during this time, the Chung Wah Association indicated its interest in including Lion Dance as one of its activities. It was due to this that the Chung Wah Association Lion Dance Troupe was formed in 1984. With the sponsorship and support of the Association new lion costumes and equipment was purchased and the troupe has been kept active with performances during the Chinese New Year celebrations. In October 1985, a children lion dance troupe was formed in conjunction with the Chung Wah Chinese School. This new young troupe made its debut at the 75th Anniversary Celebration Festival. In 1988, Simon Lee donated a great green dragon that resulted in the birth of the Chung Wah Lion and Dragon Dance troupe. Until then Chung Wah Lion Dance Troupe had solely been a Lion Dance troupe. We received our first lessons in performing the dragon by Simon Lee as he was a dragon dancer in his youth and had been a strong supporter of the troupe ever since. The difference between Chung Wah Association Lion and Dragon Dance Troupe and other troupes is that we do not have a Si Fu and we do not practice Kung Fu or Wushu. Everyone has an equal say in all and everyone can have a chance to learn Lion Dance regardless of whether they have a martial arts background. Our troupes greatest achievements are internationally recognised. Being amongst the first of many troupes around the world to be able to fly three metres on the props and do a 180 degree jump on the tightropes. In 1988, Chung Wah Association Lion and Dragon dance Troupe was invited to their first international competition in Malaysia, led by David Chiu. The competition opened our eyes to what other lion dance troupe were training up for and the standards to be achieved. In 1994, we competed in Malaysia, Genting Highlands, and was ranked 7th in the world. In 1995 we competed in Hong Kong and was ranked 5th in the world and in 1996 in Malaysia we were seeded 5th out of the 28 competing teams. All three times the troupe was led by Peter Lee.

🎉 Competition Update – A Journey of Growth and Grit 🐉

Our troupe faced a tough challenge at the recent competition, navigating politics and unfair circumstances that tested our spirit. But through it all, we learned, grew, and came back stronger 💪.

Lion dance isn’t just about winning — it’s about sharing culture, building community, and passing tradition from one generation to the next. 🧧✨

Our new traditional team trained relentlessly for months. Though the results didn’t go their way, they showed true resilience by immediately refocusing on their next goal. And today, our high pole pair placed 4th — the best result we’ve seen in years! 🙌

More than rankings, we’ve built a winning formula: unity, perseverance, and heart. ❤️

Well done, team! Let’s keep climbing. 🏆
