Saturday at the Dance Expressions studio in Maple Valley the dances prepared for the performance.

The theatre group purchesed a traditional dragon for the performance.

David Mahoney and Stephen Griffith are the dancers in the dragon costume.

Mahoney said people from a local church came to the studio and taught the “real moves” with the dragon.

“It is martial arts based,” Mahoney said. “It is very important to them.”
