Jumping Drum Dance, Longde Temple

INFO

The Jumping Drum Dance of Longde Temple was established in 1976. The team participated in Xigang xiangke festival and was once invited to perform at a TV station. However, due to difficulties of recruiting members, their performance was halted for more than 30 years after its decade-long establishment. In 2015, Committee Chairman Chen recruited community residents and former members of the Jumping Drum Dance to establish a new team. The new team performed once again in 2018 Xigang xiangke festival, showing cohesion among village members and winning applauses.

The Jumping Drum Dance is a rich formation mainly composed of drums, umbrellas and gongs. The audience can observe the life and culture of the early agricultural era from the dance.
