    The Southern Newsgroup, publisher of the Houston Chinese Newspaper has a big one every year. They are located on Bellaire past the Beltway. Ususally both days, Feb. 9th and 10th. Our school will be performing there and usually Xing Hao's school too. I know we have five performances over that weekend, there is usually a big one too at the Phoenix restraunt on Bellaire up by Hwy 6. that one is huge, usually about 5000 people, not sure if we are performing there or not this year.

    Feb 06, 2008

    Bellaire bear synott
    6 PM

    Teo Chew Temple
    10599 Turtlewood Ct
    Houston Texas
    1030-11pm starting time

    and many more that i dont know of.

    Best thing to do honestly, is to stay at Tan Tan on sunday and just watch all the performances, usually the best or most popular teams are invited to perform there.
    Or on sunday you can go to Jackie Tan's restaurant instead if you want. Im not exactly sure if it is on sunday, but i will find out and post here.
    Or you can attend the Viet Hoa festival on the 24 also. a lot of teams will be performing there all day.

    *****the performances i named are mostly lion dancing, if you want to see shaolin kung fu, than refer to songshan post since that school is a shaolin school, i dont know the times for the other 3 shaolin schools*****
