CAPITAL Hypermart’s Chinese New Year lion dance contest came to a close on February 10 with Hong Bao Shi team winning the top prize.
“As usual it was difficult to choose a winner and first runner up,” said Ko Myo Han, one of the competition judges.
Moving about in a heavy costume atop a climbing structure requires a great deal of skill and training.
“I built my team based on last year’s when we won the first prizes in the Capital Hypermart and Chinatown contest. This year, we arranged things differently to last year’s contest by changing the dancing styles and bringing the frames closer,” said Ko Myo Naing, leader of Hong Bao Shi group.
Pearl-black group won second and Global Lion third place in the competition.
