Honoured to be part of history 🇦🇺🦁
We had the privilege of participating in Australia’s First National Lion Dance Competition at the 25th Moon Lantern Festival in Cabramatta — where teams from across the country brought their A-game in an epic display of skill, strength, and spirit! Our result:
Deduction: 0.2
Final Score: 8.63
🥉 3rd Place — Traditional Category
Countless late nights and hard work led us here — and we couldn’t be prouder to bring home a trophy and medals for our team! We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to compete on this stage and will keep pushing ourselves to grow, improve and reach new heights from this experience 💪
Massive shoutout to our amazing friends who helped transport and lend equipment to complete our routine as we travelled interstate — your support means everything and truly shows how strong our lion dance community is 🤝

One of my favourite moments every year at the @lovesunshinebiz.vic Lunar Festival is getting to photograph the hugely talented team at @dbqaliondance Lion Dancing team 🔥
I probably have more photos of this team than of anything else 🤣
