Last Thursday, the 7th of February was Chinese New Year. Because of the large Asian population in Sydney, this is heavily celebrated. Today was the CNY parade,featuring 2,500 performers including 600 people and floats from China’s historic Shaanxi Province and local Chinese community groups.

There are usually two dancers. One acts as the head and the other the body.
They dance to a drum, cymbals and a gong.
