Genting World Lion Dance Championships 2018
07.20-22.2018
2018 has been a great opportunity for Sing Yung. Under the United States Dragon and Lion Dance Federation (USDLDF), we competed at the Genting World Lion Dance Championship in Malaysia! The Championship was held at the Arena of Stars, located in Resort World at Genting Highlands. Out of 5 Western teams, Sing Yung secured 1st Runner Up in the Western Division. Although we didn't get first, we have learned a lot of what we need to practice on to continue striving to be on top.

We were the first team to go on, on the first day of the competition. You can imagine how nerve-wracking it was for all of us. We didn't know what to expect, but we completed our routine with no fatal mistakes. Good job, Sing Yung!

Thank you, Eva Luong, for video taping our routine!
It took us two layovers to get us from Hawaii to Malaysia. It was a very tiresome travel, but we made it there in one piece! We got there a few days early so we could practice our routine there and, of course, eat!
A welcome dinner for all teams competing was held the night before the competition. We got to meet a lot of teams that have traveled from different countries to compete again in this championships. They were all very welcoming to us as we are the newcomers into this competition.
After our nervous, but exciting experience, we could now relax and enjoy our time there as the other groups competed. We also spent a couple days down in Kuala Lumpur before we headed back home.
We didn't take much pictures, but here are a few pictures from our trip:
