10-MAY-2003 Tiësto in Concert

The CNCWS was invited to perform a lion dance in front of about 25.000 people as a side act during Tiësto in concert held at the Gelredome in Arnhem. The leading act was of course about the world famous Dutch DJ Tiësto. The theme of the concert was around the world. The lion dance was performed with 4 lions and was presented during the theme about Asia.

A record of this day can be viewed below. Additional pictures about this event can be viewed in the people pix section at the ID&T site.

The day started in the afternoon with the awakening of a new lion. Even Tiësto gave a special lion dance performance after a quick introductionary course. When the music is drumming, the feet start rumbling.
