Our Troupe
There is an extreme rarity that exists with this Troupe. All of our Troupe Members are actually paid for the performances that they do. Due to this fact... we are able to hold each Troupe Member under a higher level of Expectation, Professionalism and Quality. It is an earned privilege and not a right to be a part of this unique Troupe.
Troupe History
The "Shaolin Lohan Pai Lion Dance Troupe" has evolved throughout the past twenty-eight years and is considered to be the most experienced, respected and sought-after demonstration team within the state of Missouri. The team was formally known as the "HuangSe' GeBei Xi'Tong's - Lion Dance and Demonstration Team" (1997-2004 A.D.). Prior to that… it was know as the "Lohan Gung Fu Demo Team" (1994-1997 A.D.) and before that... it was simply known as the "Lo'Han Group" (1979-1994 A.D.).
One of the unique aspects of our team is that we are all students of the "Shaolin Lohan School of Kung Fu". How is that unique you may ask? Since we are a 'Northern Kung Fu School', we specialize in the Northern Lions. We have the strength and leg speed that is necessary for 'bold' lion dances. Due to this fact, our "Southern Lion Dances" are powerful, acrobatic and extremely pleasurable to watch. Since our system tends to do a great deal of reaching with normal techniques, we are more capable to reach-out further with the lions. Due to this fact, we are also able to perform the extremely rare and historical "Green-Faced Lion". We are also the only Troupe, in the area, capable of performing the fantastic "Dragon Dance" properly. We have the largest inventory of Lions in the state and the people capable of using them. Therefore, it is without question that the "Shaolin Lohan Pai Lion Dance Troupe" is the most diverse, exciting and professional "Lion Dance Troupe" in Missouri!
Our teams have served countless respectable organizations with our duty, tradition, skill, professionalism, punctuality and honor. Some of the Organizations that we have served, and continue to serve are the "City and County of Honolulu", the "City of Springfield, Missouri", the "Springfield Taiwanese Women's Association", the "UMR Students & Scholars Association", the "City of Saint Louis", the "St. Louis City Museum", the "St. Louis Children’s Aquarium", the "Taipei Economic & Cultural Office in Kansas City", "Harrah's Casino - St. Louis & Prairie Band", "Ameristar Casino - St. Charles", the "Casino Queen", the "City of Maryland Heights", the "Chesterfield Arts Council", the "Asian American Business Association", the "Worldways Children's Museum" and many more. We are also honored to serve as the only demonstration team for both "Oriental Martial Arts Society (OMAS), Inc." within the Continental United States and the "Midwest Martial Arts Council".
