Quick comparison: 12 lion dance troupes in Singapore

How we chose these troupes

We looked at four things: a public track record (competition results, years active or major events), the range of performances offered, how easy the troupe is to contact and book, and what other Singapore publications recommend. We left out troupes we couldn't verify as currently taking bookings.

How much do lion dance troupes charge in 2027?

Most troupes in Singapore quote on request. These are our own CNY 2027 rates, which give a realistic benchmark:

How to choose the right troupe

1. Match the troupe to the job. A championship acrobatic team is wasted on a 15-minute office blessing; a blessing specialist may not suit a mall atrium show.
2. Check the space. Lions need about 5 m × 5 m; dragons and high pole need far more.
3. Ask what's included. Number of lions, performance length, live percussion, cai qing items and God of Fortune.
4. Read recent reviews on Google, not just testimonials on the troupe's site.
5. Confirm logistics. Arrival time, building approval and who handles any permit.
