Today I joined the festivities of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and celebrated Chinese New Year and Valentines Day by taking part in a Dragon Dance and mass demonstration of Taoist Tai Chi at the O-Zone in Richmond. Over 400 members of the Taoist Tai Chi Society participated in this event in front of thousands of people. What fun we all had!

Dragon Chasing the Pearl – This dragon is 100 meters long and supported by about 75 members.  It’s Canada’s longest Chinese-style dragon. The dragon is a symbol of luck in Chinese culture.

Dragon Kiss – of course it’s Valentine’s Day

Taoist Tai Chi Demo – Don’t we look great in those black sweat pants, red sweatshirts and yellow scarves? It’s the middle of winter and we were enjoying blue skies and sunshine in Richmond, just south of Vancouver, BC.
