“and we danced / like a wave on the ocean, romanced / we were liars in love and we danced”

Two of the kids in Eaglet’s lion dance troupe are Chinese-Mexican in heritage, raised as Chinese-American but still keeping in touch with their fusion culture—which still flourishes in Mexico. As an example, they also do folklórico dancing. This weekend is the older one’s quinceañera, and the troupe has been hired as performers—presumably one of many.

This should be interesting. And, at a guess, loud.

Is it going to be a nervous night as well?

[larryhammer]

A possibly over-social night -- 400 guests are expected.

Though to clarify, Eaglet is not looking forward to being in a dragon dance, as they've practiced that routine only once -- they only recently moved up to the teen side of the troupe.

Hooters lyrics are always so useful :-)

Nervous night, time on my hands
Private invasion of the promised land
Two on the run, that's you and me
Maybe we can make it through this emergency
