Here is an analysis of the techniques involved in this clip, intended to give you a better understanding of the movements First and Khaotung are practicing and the level of difficulty involved.
They truly put in immense effort to achieve the level of execution we see here; I have great admiration for them 🥹👍👏
Firstly, the lion dance performed by FirstKhaotung belongs to the Southern Lion style 🦁
Details regarding this specific sequence:
In lion dance performances, the sequence of "the lion head jumping from one side to the other, then freezing and shaking its head" is a classic combination of dynamic movement transitioning into a static pose. It is typically used to convey the lion's surprise, alertness, or playfulness.
Executing this—where the "lion tail" must follow in perfect sync with the "lion head"—requires specific coordination of hand techniques, footwork, and body posture:
(Khaotung) Key techniques for the Lion Head
The lion head is primarily responsible for leading the direction and expressing the lion's form and spirit.
Footwork (Jumping and Planting):
The Jump: Use the "Qilin step" (or "cross-step") or a lateral dodge step. Push off from one side, lightly springing off the ground to leap sideways to the other side.
Landing and Planting:
Upon landing, quickly transition into a stable Siping Ma (wide horse stance) or a bow stance. Both feet must be firmly planted on the ground to provide absolutely stable lower body support for the subsequent "fixed head shake".
Hand Techniques and Body Posture:
During the jump: Hold the lion head high with arms slightly bent and elastic; shift the entire body laterally, keeping the eyes focused on the lion head.
During the freeze:
Instantly freeze the body, keep the waist straight, and lower the center of gravity.
Head-shaking technique:
After the lion's head is stationary, use the skillful force of your wrists to make the lion's head swing slightly from side to side (i.e., "head-shaking" or "head-flicking"). Simultaneously, manipulate the internal mechanism with your fingers to make the lion's eyes blink and ears flap, conveying an expression of confusion or alertness.
(First) Key techniques for the Lion Tail
The lion tail acts as an extension of the lion's body, mimicking feline agility; it is responsible for coordinating with the lion head's displacement while showcasing the fullness and dynamic movement of the lion's waist and haunches.
Footwork (Following and Locking):
Following Jump: The lion's tail must jump half a beat slower than the lion's head, using a following step or a sideways step. When the Head jumps to the side, the Tail must quickly determine the direction and—leveraging the forward pull from the Head—rapidly jump or slide laterally to follow, maintaining an optimal body length (avoiding over-extension or excessive compression).
Landing on the ground:
When the lion's head is stationary, the lion's tail must immediately land on the ground, transforming into a low horse stance or crouching stance (tiger-crouching stance), bending over and bending the back.
Body Posture and Handwork:
Posture: The performer playing the Tail must firmly grip the Head performer's waistband (or the designated Tail handle).
Tail-Wagging Coordination (Key Point):
When the Head lands and "shakes its head while stationary," the Tail performer keeps their lower body stable but sways their hips and waist slightly from side to side in rhythm with the Head's movement. This creates a coordinated "head-shaking and tail-wagging" effect, making the lion appear lifelike.
The perfect coordination between the lion's head and tail:
Side leap in mid-air:
Head Action:
Leaps sideways to lead the way.
Tail Action:
Follows with a lateral jump, lagging half a beat behind.
Coordination Point:
Keep the lion's back (body) taut in a natural arc; avoid any disconnection between the two performers.
Landing and Settling:
Head Action:
Suddenly shifts into a stable horse stance (siping ma) and freezes instantly.
Tail Action:
Suddenly shifts into a low horse stance, lowering the center of gravity.
Coordination Point:
Both performers must "brake" simultaneously, freeze and brake, demonstrating crisp, clean movement (a clear distinction between motion and stillness).
Head Shaking and Tail Wagging:
Head Action:
Uses wrist power to shake the head and blink the eyes.
Tail Action:
Twists the waist and sways the hips to wag the tail at a high frequency.
Coordination Point:
The frequency of the tail-wagging must be perfectly synchronized with the head-shaking, achieving a unity of energy and power.
That’s all for tonight's sharing! It turned out to be a really long post, so thank you so much to everyone who is seeing this, and thank you for taking the time to read. 🙏
Good night~🌙😴✨

10 kilos????
🗣️: how was lifting the dragon head just now, first? how many kilos was it?
🐈⬛: the head just now was 10 kilos, more than 10 kilos
🗣️: has all the training you’ve been doing at the gym helped a lot? (+)
#TheInvisibleDragon#GMMTVLiveHouse
🐈:it was pretty intense cus after practicing…the next day i literally couldn't walk down the stairs…i mean i really had to hold onto the handrail.
🗣️:it's like doing squats,right?
🐈⬛:yeah,exactly.
🐈:it was like an instant squat workout, so my muscles just went into shock and everything.
🐈⬛:but anyway, once the series airs, we're accepting lion dance gigs..accepting human pyramid gigs at shopping malls
//in @TheRealYossie we trust🩶
🐈 : We're giving this 100%, and so is every single department on the crew. Please stay tuned, guys, because filming is starting very soon.
👩🏻🦰: You can absolutely trust the skills of P'Ja.
🐈🐈⬛ : Yes, definitely!
🐈⬛ : Please support us! We are going to be absolutely grand and legendary.
👩🏻🦰 : Soon, GMMTV LIVE HOUSE will be raiding your filming set.
🐈⬛ : You're welcome to come by anytime! Better yet, why don't you come often? Please visit a lot!

//First...he really impresses and inspires me everyday
👩🏻🦰 : So how was lifting the dragon head just now? How many kilograms was it, First?
🐈⬛ : That head just now weighed 10 kilos, actually a bit over 10 kilos.
👩🏻🦰 : Did all that fitness training you did help out a lot?
🐈⬛ : It definitely helped, but the crew members mentioned that 10 kilos is a real challenge specifically for the person acting as the head of the dragon.

i’m loving this family
#TheInvisibleDragon#GMMTVLiveHouse
🗣️:can we get a sam-cha rhythm?
🩵:play the original rhythm first.
🐈:(plays the drum)
🩵:okay, now how about sam-cha?
🐈:(stunned: wait, how do i play that? oh well, here goes!)
🩵:(a-yoh-yoh-yoh! p'tan, shake/bounce it a bit, shake/bounce it!)
🐈⬛:entertaining
🐈 : I'm sore, but it's fun. It's not too heavy around 2 to 3 kilos. They have us walking like a stealthy cat, basically mimicking their movements. Every posture has to be completely sharp. It'll definitely take some time to train because you need an immense amount of strength. I'm already sweating buckets after just a brief moment, and this is without even wearing the full costume yet.
#TheInvisibleDragon #FirstKhaotung #GMMTVLiveHouse
🐈: Actually, there are a lot more details to it than that. It’s an art form, and it requires each person to synchronize with one another. One dragon requires more than 10 people (+)
