Chau Luen Athletic Club

We had the privilege of having the Chau Luen Athletic Club present a lion dance at a staff event for Lunar New Year this year. Everyone loved it! It was a pleasure to work with the team - very organized, professional, and adaptable to our event and space needs. It's wonderful what they are doing with young people in Chinatown, passing on these important cultural traditionals. Highly recommended if you are looking to book a lion dance!

I had the pleasure of hosting the Chau Luen Athletics Club for a lion dance performance at my recent corporate event for Lunar New Year.Mike and the entire team were extremely easy to work with and were very thoughtful of providing the best performance for our team. For instance, asking our preferences on the lettuce shredding sequence and taking extra time after the performance to allow our teammates to take photos with the lions. They also handled their own setup and cleanup so it was a seamless experience for everyone. Mike even introduced the lion dance by sharing some trivia and the history of the dance itself.As a tidbit, I booked them very last minute (3 days notice) during the busiest time of the year and they came through!I'd recommend them to anyone looking to book a lion dance or any other performance they provide as their team is certainly professional, reliable, and easy to work with.

I've seen lion dances in movies and at other events, but to have one for your special day brings a whole new meaning of A Special Moment". From the drumming to the beautifully choreographed dance

The best! I’ve seen their lion dances over the last few years, tons of energy and commitment. A treat if you can catch one.

I recently joined Chau Luen after seeing their Lion Dance at Vancouver's LNY parade. They seemed really professional and had this amazing energy so I had to find out more. I also heard about how they had crowd-pleasing performances at weddings, major corporate events, etc.Let me tell you, aside from Lion Dance and Dragon Dance, their kung fu training is exceptional. I was skeptical at first (I come from years of Taekwondo training), but learning all these new techniques feels so rewarding and fun. Not only because I get in better shape and learn valuable self defence skills, but because everyone in class is so welcoming, especially to new people and people who might be intimidated trying new things.Would definitely recommend this club to anyone interested in traditional martial arts and performances!

Chau Luen Athletic Club has one of the best learning environments for learning kung fu and lion dance in all of Vancouver. The community was very welcoming, the classes were adaptable to help me reach my goals, and I was able to get performance experience very quickly. I’ve personally been training with Chau Luen for many years now, but it never gets boring!

Had a great time learning Choy Lay Fut and lion dance here. Never felt as tired before doing a warm up! I was warmed up for sure!Saw these guys perform lion dance on poles at a club, none of the other performers there could compete!

I’ve been practicing kung fu and lion dance at Chau Luen Athletics for a total of about 2 years now. I’ve joined fitness classes from other studios in the past, but never stuck with it. The difference here at Chau Luen is that there is really a sense of camaraderie, community, and family - everyone is very welcoming and willing to help, and that’s why I keep coming back.The workout is good, and they teach practical applications and reasoning behind kung fu moves. I’m thankful to have Chau Luen as a means of connecting to my community and culture.
