I've seen the chinese peac0ck dance but it's nothing like Lion Dance. It's more like ballet.

No its not a Dragon dance, its a One man suite of a phoenix and on the arms is wings with razors for fighting. I heard its for luck it might be of HAKKA origin!?

It also looks like american native indian suite!

are you talking about Kay Lun or Pei Yao dance? I think Lung Ying Pai in NYC does Kay Lun. I've heard of but never seen Pei Yao. Post on the southern board and you will probably get your answer, if not, then post on the lion dance forum at forumco.hungkuen.net and someone will probably know there.
