A thrilling tiger dance performance bring cheer and excitement to the crowd of shoppers at The Gardens Mall, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday 21st February 2010.
This being the lunar Year of the Tiger, it was befitting of The Gardens Mall management to bring with it an exciting tiger dance performance that had the crowd captivated by the tiger dance performers’ dangerous stunts of jumping and balancing from pole to pole to the deafening beat of drum, gong and cymbals.
Tiger dances, like the lion dances, are performed during Chinese New Year to bring good luck, prosperity and a successful year; and to drive away bad luck and spirits.
