Important Notice

We are an offical branch of MantisKungFu / Gold Coast Lion Dancing, We are students of Sifu Matthew Hansen & built our own local lion dancing business to make lion dancing more accessible for the scenic rim region. We are a team of 2 with our own lion, our partner will be the drummer in our shows. Since we have only 1 lion any extra required lions should be booked through our partner in collaboration if requested.We pride ourselves in being an alternative for local clients who want to support a small business closer to home!By booking us you agree to our Terms and Conditions.

Meet The Lion

Kenji

Kenji is a Modern Hoksan lion, he has a beautiful blue satin coat with white fur! He'll bring the vibes and dance moves to any event, hes playful, cheeky and a gentle soul. Kenji also has LED eyes & a LED head mirror!

Meet The "Monk"

Kouta the Dragon ©

Kouta is our team leader's personal character that he designed to represent himself, widely known as "Fursonas" in the furry community. If you want, we can use Kouta in place of the traditional "Monks" that tame and befriend the lions.

IMPORTANT - Since we are a two person team, if you want to hire Kouta (with our lion) then our partner (Mantis Kung Fu) will be in the head (or) tail of our lion with our other teammate while our other teammate is in Kouta. Alternatively you can also hire just Kouta out for the Lion Dance Type 2 price.

Breaks will not count towards the hours you pay us for. Roughly every 20-40 minutes we will require a short break.We encourage businesses to let their guests/kids know that they are more than welcome to interact and pat the lion(s) with clean hands, feed it red packets or money however we ask their hands be clean and that they dont spill food or drinks onto the lion. A fee will be charged if damage occurs.If requesting a Lettuce hang/throw it must be hung low enough to be grabbed without jumping or requiring a lift. Or alternatively a table underneath in place for us to jump up so we can reach the lettuce. Currently we cannot do jumps, lifts or anything that requires the tail to lift the head due to old age and back issues. We will provide the lettuce if you only ask for a lettuce throw, however if you want it hung up for the lion to grab you'll have to hang a lettuce up in preparation yourself.The lion will run in then have a "wake up" sequence, we will be interacting with guests, blessing the area, interacting with the environment, doing movesets and tricks. The end of the performance will be a "falling asleep" sequence before the lion gets back up and exists the building backwards. Want something different? Let us know!Clean area - We will happily perform anywhere as long as the general area & floor are clean. We will not perform on: Wet grass, Stages covered in bird/animal droppings or Floors with food on the ground. Only exception to this rule: We will still perform on wet concrete/grounds without sitting down in the lion, It will be a standing only performance. No price difference, the routine will be altered to do the moves standing up.We cannot perform in the rain as the lion cannot get wet, please have an alternative location or undercover backup if the performance is planned outside in case of surprise weather.Payment: We accept upfront payment only, Paypal, Bank transfer or Cash. We will not perform until payment is made in full. Payment plans are okay as long as the performance is fully paid off before the booking date.We provide full refunds up to 2 days before the reserved booking date. You will not be able to request a refund 2 days before the planned date.For childrens parties: Please ensure you let the kids know they should have clean hands when patting/touching the lion, and politely remind them not to hit, slap or physically hurt the performers, while it doesnt bother us too much when they slap the lions butt do remind them to be gentle as there are real people underneath! You will be responsible for any damages to the lion if kids break, smear food/drinks on the lion or anything that damages the lion.

We look forward to seeing you!
