Can I question how old this clip is? 200 people enjoying a performance and only 2 people filming... Seems like 2005.

It's from 2025, Malaysia.

This is a source: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRgbaWVklcs/

I believe the original source is https://www.instagram.com/liondoncefreak/ but I couldn't find the video there because they post so many and I just didn't bother lol

Here is the original source from the Youtube page of liondoncefreak which uploads the entirety of these performances. This particular performance was filmed on February 4th 2025 during Chinese New Year, and the video description cites the performers as the Malaysia Khuan Loke Dragon & Lion Dance Association.

Base on the CNY decals of the mall (Midvalley Megamall), I think is last year (2025)

The deco sucked lol. I was on a higher level of the mall and the ribbons were blocking my view!!

It’s quite common in Malaysia and Singapore. Not much point taking videos

I was standing in the crowd, a few levels up. This was last year (2025), performance by Khuan Loke Dragon&Lion Dance Association in Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumour Malaysia.

This troupe has top-tier award winning performances, always a treat to watch them.
