Chinese New Year celebration continues as The China Institute on East 65th street helped keep things real festive as they kicked off the new year with a free lion dance and Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu performance on 65th street! The dazzling performers were from the New York Hung Sing Kwoon martial art school from Flushing,Queens. Choy Lee Fut kung fu is known to have a mix of graceful but deadly techniques from Northern China as well as having the powerful and crushing techniques from the South.
I only stayed for the street performance but the China Institute had a myriad of events going on inside including a dumpling making workshop, a gallery tour, a calligraphy workshop, and a paper cutting workshop. Fun, fun, fun for the whole family! Happy New Year of the Horse!!!
