Hire a Lion Dance Troupe in Singapore

FunCo is a Singapore event specialist with years of expertise in delivering professional lion dance performances for grand openings, Chinese New Year celebrations, and corporate milestones. Every booking includes a culturally authentic troupe that turns up on time, all the traditional instruments and costumes, and seamless integration with the broader event we plan for you. Whether you are looking to hire a lion dance for a store opening or manage a full lion dance booking alongside our live food stations and carnival games, we bring the roar, the drums, and the prosperity to your doorstep.

Why Choose Our Lion Dance Performance Service?

Event managers, HR teams, and business owners hire us because a lion dance can only bless an event when the troupe actually arrives on time and performs with real craft. Here is what sets FunCo apart.

Professional and Punctual Troupe

The most common headache with lion dance bookings is a troupe that shows up late, or not at all. We build every lion dance booking around a firm arrival window and a dedicated event coordinator, so the drums begin exactly when your run sheet says they should. Trusted for punctual, professional cultural performances for corporate launches, our team briefs on site well before your first guest arrives.

Authentic Cultural Performance

Our troupes are rooted in traditional practice. From the drumbeat cadence to the Cai Qing choreography and the lucky number blessings left behind, every element carries the ritual weight it is meant to. Guests, elders, and cultural stakeholders feel it in the room.

Seamless Event Integration

Book a lion dance as a standalone performance, or fold it into a full FunCo event package alongside live food stations such as prata live stations and ice cream booths, carnival games, and fringe activities. Because FunCo plans full events, the lion dance slots into your run sheet properly. We coordinate the arrival, drum placement, and photo segment around your MC script, VIP arrivals, and reception flow, so the performance lands as part of the programme rather than an interruption to it.

Customisable Acts and Formats

Choose from traditional Cai Qing, high-energy acrobatic lion dances with thunderous percussion, or LED lion dance for evening and indoor formats. Add a dragon dance, God of Wealth mascot, or traditional emcee to grow the moment into a full cultural showcase.

All-Inclusive Event Support

Book the lion dance on its own, or bundle it with our live food stations, carnival games, fringe activities, and full event management under one quote. One team plans it, one team turns up on the day, and you deal with one contact from start to finish.

Lion Dance Packages

FunCo offers a wide range of lion dance formats to suit every event size, venue, and occasion. Every package includes the troupe, instruments, costumes, and coordination.

Traditional Lion Dance (Cai Qing)

Our flagship package. A skilled troupe performs the classic Cai Qing, or "plucking of the greens", accompanied by drums, cymbals, and gongs in vibrant traditional costumes. Ideal for grand openings, Chinese New Year, and cultural blessing ceremonies where authenticity matters most.

LED Lion Dance

Traditional and modern LED lion dance shows for any occasion, purpose-built for evening events, indoor stages, and dark venues. Glowing costumes, synchronised light patterns, and dramatic percussion turn the performance into a visual centrepiece that lands beautifully on camera.

Acrobatic Lion Dance

For events that demand spectacle, our high-energy acrobatic lion dances with thunderous percussion feature pole jumps, lion stacks, and choreographed stunts. Well suited to large corporate launches, dinner and dance headline moments, and mall activations where you need the crowd to stop, look, and stay.

Customised Package

Weave in your branding, mascots, corporate colours, or themed elements. Custom banners, branded ang baos, or a co-choreographed reveal moment with your product or ribbon can be arranged with advance notice.

What to Expect From Our Lion Dance Performance in Singapore

A standard lion dance performance runs approximately 10 to 20 minutes from the first drumbeat, covering the Cai Qing and photo segments. Include the blessing walk around your premises, and the total lands closer to 20 to 30 minutes end to end. The three stages unfold in a set order below.

Cai Qing Performance (Approximately 5 to 10 Minutes)

The lion enters to the thunder of drums and cymbals, moving in choreographed circles that ward off bad luck and welcome wealth into the space. The performance builds to the Cai Qing itself, where the lion "plucks" the lettuce and "spits" it out to symbolise prosperity flowing outward to your guests, clients, and staff. Confetti and well-wishes complete the segment.

Photo-Taking Segment

Key personnel, VIPs, and guests are invited to pose with the lion for photos, an important moment for corporate openings and cultural ceremonies where leadership presence is on record. This segment typically runs 5 to 10 minutes, with a memorial scroll presented to your team as a keepsake and additional well-wishes scrolls displayed on-site.

Blessing Around the Premises

The lion moves through your key areas to bless the space, including workstations, meeting rooms, the entrance, and any auspicious focal points. Lucky numbers may be left behind on request. This traditional blessing is why so many businesses include a lion dance in their opening ceremonies. It marks the space as ready for prosperity, hard work, and good fortune.

To include this segment, please prepare 2 oranges and 1 ang bao on each table or in each room you would like the lion to bless. Our team will guide you through placement on the day.

What to Prepare for Your Lion Dance Cai Qing Ceremony

To make the Cai Qing ceremony land with full symbolic weight, please prepare the following before the performance. Our team will guide you through the arrangement on the day.

1. 12 Mandarin Oranges: The number twelve represents completeness across the twelve months; the fruit itself symbolises gold and wealth.
2. 1 Lettuce (Sheng Cai): The Cantonese word "sheng cai" sounds like "generating wealth", making the lettuce the centrepiece of the Cai Qing plucking moment.
3. 2 Red Packets (Ang Baos): The amount inside is entirely at your discretion; the gesture represents goodwill and generosity.
4. 1 Red Plate: For arranging the oranges and offerings in the ceremonial setup.
5. Optional additions: Pineapples, huat kueh, or sweets, if you would like to enrich the offering.

Perfect for Every Occasion

A lion dance can headline almost any moment worth marking. Here is where our troupes perform most often across Singapore.

Grand Openings and Store Launches

A Cai Qing performance is the traditional way to bless new premises, attract positive energy, and mark the start of trade on the right note. Businesses searching for event companies in Singapore that provide lion dance for grand openings choose FunCo for punctual arrival, culturally authentic ritual, and a coordinated launch programme that flows into ribbon-cutting, MC segments, and refreshments.

Chinese New Year Celebrations

The centrepiece of any CNY event. Whether you are hosting a corporate lo hei, a residential celebration, or a mall activation, a lion dance brings luck, prosperity, and unmistakable festive energy into the room. We recommend booking early, as CNY dates are the fastest to fill in our calendar.

Corporate Events and Family Days

A cultural performance that lands with every age group. Lion dance works particularly well as a headline act at corporate family days, appreciation dinners, and townhalls, giving guests a shared moment that ties the event together.

Dinner & Dance Events

A dramatic opening act that sets the festive tone before the emcee takes the mic. The drums silence the room, the lion enters, and your programme is off to a running start.

Weddings and Private Celebrations

An auspicious cultural touch for the tea ceremony, march-in, or reception. A lion dance for weddings adds heritage, ritual weight, and a genuinely photogenic moment for your family album.

Product Launches and Media Events

For product launches and media events, a lion dance commands attention the moment the drums start. It is a memorable opening for press, influencers, and stakeholders alike, and pairs beautifully with a themed reveal, LED backdrop, or acrobatic finale.

Temporary Body Art That Draws a Crowd

Designs are completed in under two minutes, dry almost instantly, and last up to five days on the skin, making them a memorable takeaway that guests wear long after the event ends.

Airbrush tattooing is a form of temporary body art applied using an airbrush gun and cosmetic-grade ink through a reusable or disposable stencil. The process is straightforward: a guest selects a design from the catalogue, the artist positions the stencil on the skin, and ink is sprayed through it in a matter of seconds. The design sets quickly, typically within one to two minutes, and requires no drying time before the guest can move around freely.

The inks used are cosmetic-grade and formulated for skin contact. Tattoos typically last three to five days, fading naturally with washing and skin exfoliation.

FunCo's airbrush tattoo booth is designed to serve a wide range of guests and event types:

• Young children (aged 2 and above): Our inks are hypoallergenic and cosmetic-grade, formulated to be gentle on young skin. Artists check skin condition before application and skip any broken or irritated areas as standard practice.
• Teens and adults: Larger placements and more intricate designs are available for older guests, including sleeve-style wraps, shoulder pieces, and detailed portrait stencils.
• Birthday party guests: The booth functions as both an activity and a keepsake, giving every guest something personal to take home.
• Corporate event attendees: Custom logo stencils are available for brand activations, product launches, and roadshows.
• School carnivals and community events: Fast application times mean the booth can serve large groups efficiently throughout the event.

Kids' Celebrations

Airbrush tattooing is a hands-on activity that holds children's attention and gives every guest a personalised takeaway. Designs are applied quickly, the ink is safe for young skin, and the results wash off cleanly, making it a practical and popular choice for birthday parties and kids' events of all sizes.

Corporate Family Days and Dinner & Dance

The airbrush tattoo booth is one of the few fringe activities that attracts guests across all age groups. It works as a standalone station between programme segments, requires minimal space, and keeps guests engaged without needing facilitation from your event team.

School Carnivals and Community Events

Fast application times mean the station can serve a continuous flow of guests throughout the event. It is self-contained, easy to position within a larger carnival layout, and draws consistent interest from children and adults alike across the full event duration.

Brand Activations and Roadshows

Custom stencils can be prepared in advance to incorporate a company logo or campaign artwork into each design, a practical and creative approach to event branding that works equally well at roadshows, product launches, and brand activations.

Weddings and Private Parties

The service is compact, quiet, and adaptable to a range of venue types. It adds an interactive element for younger guests at weddings and private celebrations without disrupting the main programme, and themed designs can be aligned to the event palette on request.
