Watching the lion dance

Ever since I began watching how the participants of the lion dance persevere in trying to give people a good performance, I have been a big fan. I have been watching them dance in different events for two years now. I saw how the Chinese people respect and enjoy it as something that brings them luck at every opening of the Chinese new year. I can see it in look at their faces when the lion starts to dance for them. The rumbling of the traditional drums in conjuntion with the dangerous stunts is overwhelming. My heart almost jumped when I thought that one of the participant had lost his balance. I know for sure I've watch their practice (not sure what this means in the context - what do you know?). However, everything turned out alright. I'm looking forward to watching them again to feel the thrill and to bring me luck, that's for sure.
