| The Wah Yun Culture and Arts Academy dba Chinese Lion Dance Association was founded for the purpose of promoting and perpetuating an appreciation for Chinese culture in the State of Hawaii. This is done by the following: Teaching of Chinese martial arts known as Gung Fu and the Chinese Lion and Dragon Dance to persons of every race, age, religion, gender and culture; the giving of demonstrations of the Chinese Lion & Dragon Dance and Gung Fu, and other forms of Chinese entertainment; performing at various cultural activities and events such as parades, cultural shows, festivals, and the like; performing at weddings and other events; and the spreading of good will to every segment of the community at large. Students are taught in hopes they will be able to pass on their knowledge to generations to come.
