Established in 2022 by a group of passionate lion dancers striving to preserve and promote the art of lion dance in the Bay Area. Based in San Jose, California, our goal and mission incorporates dedication, respect, and tradition. We practice lion dance with strong dedication and effort to create quality performances to share our culture. As members of the lion dance and greater community, Joyous Spring embraces and encourages respect to all, as together, we are one family. Lastly and most importantly is to pass on our traditions and knowledge to the next generation, not just as lion dancers but also as mentors to our future leaders.

One of the greatest challenges and questions we faced from the start: "Who are we, and what are we trying to be?" As months and years went by, the idea of starting a new team faced many hurdles and setbacks, but at the end of the day, we realized one common goal we all strived toward. Happiness. The happiness in embracing our culture. The happiness of being together and doing what we love, lion dance. With the blessed fortune of supportive family and friends, we were able to bloom and become Joyous Spring Lion Dance Troupe 齊樂醒獅團. What was once a goal is now our beginning. We hope you will become a part of our journey and give us the opportunity to share our joy and passion with you.
齊 - Together 樂 - Happiness |
