Something new is cascading through Ann Arbor 🐉

Watch a bedazzling spectacle as the new U-M dragon winds its way down pathways filled with blossoming peonies — a welcome event to usher in good fortune and summertime cheer!

The 25-foot dragon, built as part of Dancing with the Dragon, is brought to life by 8 performers and the rhythmic drumbeat of the Ann-Hua Drum and Gong Band as the dragon chases the glowing pearl of wisdom — an eternal quest for enlightenment. More than a sculpture, this is an immersive, community-powered experience.

Dancing with the Dragon was initiated by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, bringing together students, community, faculty, and artists to explore the myth and magic of dragons in East Asian performance, artistry, podcasts, and exhibitions. One look at the dragon brings infinite good luck!
