LION DANCES are a fairly common sight in Hong Kong, particularly in rural areas. The lion is made largely of cloth and is basically manipulated by a two-man team, one man carrying the cardboard head and the other operating the hind quarters. But it is usual to have an extra man available for special stunt effects. A small or- chestra in which percussion instruments predominate provides appropriate music.
