About Yishen Dragon & Lion Dance Troupe

Yi Shen Dragon & Lion Dance Troupe was officially established in the year 2008. With more than 15 years of history, we were formed by a group of like-minded, young & enthusiastic friends. Originated from Thomson Community Club Lion & Dragon Dance troupe, our passion & dedication carried on.
