These guys are amazing. I hired them for the Tet celebration at the company I work for. They came a bit late but were able to set up quickly. They were very respectful and courteous. The employees loved their performance. They worked hard, did a lot of acrobats, and mingled with the crowd. I reviewed 7 troops and they were the only one who had their own insurance. Thank you Ane Thanh performers. I'll definitely hire you again. read more

Ane Thanh Lion Dance - They were able to avoid the chandeliers and hanging tulle - Performing Arts Near Me

We booked Ane Thanh Lion Dance for our wedding at Venue by Three Petals, and they did such a great job! Our guests loved the performance, and it really got everyone excited! The performance lasted around 15 minutes and included the tangerine peeling, "feeding" the lions with the pole, and the lions interacting with the crowd. The booking process is relatively straightforward - I contacted them through email and Anthony helped me with everything. We chose which lion costumes and scrolls we wanted, and confirmed the wedding details with him. Then they took care of the rest and executed their performance perfectly. Their team is on point and friendly, so glad we booked Ane Thanh! read more

We hired the team of lion dancers for our wedding and they did a spectacular job! We went with 2 lions. I've never seen a full performance so I don't have anything to compare it to, but they were fun and exciting. They also did the lettuce and orange eating read more

We surprised our guests with the lion dance and it was definitely one of the highlights at our wedding! The crowd absolutely loved the performance and went wild the entire time. It's an amazing way to celebrate culture and also provide entertainment for your guests. They exceeded our expectations and did a great job at interacting with everyone! Tyler and his team are very friendly, professional, and talented. I highly recommend hiring them for your wedding/event! Our guests could not stop talking about it the entire night and after the wedding. It was also a lot of fun participating in the performance as well :) read more

We hired Ane Thanh Lion Dance for our wedding and our guests LOVED them! They definitely know how to work a crowd. It was so entertaining to watch them pretend to eat people, twerk, and do stunts while making their way through the guests' tables. The kids had so much fun "feeding" them. 100% worth it! read more

Ane Thanh Lion Dance - Performing Arts Near Me

I contacted these guys via email almost a year before my wedding to secure a date and time for a performance at my wedding. They promptly answered all my questions, and were upfront about my options and the cost. I was a little surprised that there was no contract or deposit required. As far as the selection of the Lions - they have many different colors for you to choose from. Most were yellow, red, or white -- and some have a combination of those 3 colors. Since we selected 2 lions, we were also given the option of two scrolls/signs to display at the end of the dance. My husband is Chinese and I am Vietnamese, and they were able to accommodate both languages. The signs said something like "1000 years of happiness" and stuff like that. Prior to the wedding, Michael from Ane Thanh contacted me to reconfirm my reservation. He was very responsive to all my text messages, and confirmed my previous selections. He was also very flexible and patient with me as I changed the time of the performance a few times, which I know is annoying of me -- but I really appreciate his kindness and understanding. On the day of the wedding, the Ane Thanh crew punctually arrived at the venue, and delivered an amazing crowd-pleasing performance. Our Asian families were thrilled with the festivities, and our non-Asian friends were excited to witness a super fun part of our tradition and customs. We placed our payment (in the form of cash) into the mouth of the dancing, which was both amusing and enjoyable! Our guests were also able to participate and feed the "lions" some tip money to thank them for putting on a great show. It's considered lucky to feed the lions some money, and those athletic men/dancers truly deserved their tip for being exceptionally good with kids as well! The lion dancers also performed around me and my husband (we were sitting on chairs) while they strutted their stuff. It truly made us feel special as a new couple, and I am so thankful for the smiles and memories they brought to my family and friends. This company is made of talented dancers and men of their word. There weren't very many reviews of business when I booked them, but I am so glad I trusted them with the biggest party of my life. They are honest and upfront - and they know how to deliver a badass, amazing show! read more

Ane Thanh Lion Dance - Posing for photos at the end of the show - Performing Arts Near Me

Very talented group of performers! We hired Ane Thanh to perform a 15 minute lion dance during our reception. It was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Everyone enjoyed it, especially since no one had expected us to add something traditional for entertainment. If you're looking for something loud and high energy be sure to consider a lion dance for your event (it doesn't have to be a wedding). Booking them was super easy and everything was through email for us. We selected our two lions, gave them the time and location, and everything was all set. Thanks to the team at Ane Thanh for creating a unique and memorable experience for us! read more

Thank you Andy and the Ane Thanh Lion Dance team! Your lion performance at our wedding reception was spectacular. Our guest loved every bit of the performance. They were prompt, responsive and very professional with emails. I was amazed by how attentive they were on the day of the wedding. The colors of the lions were spot on and matched our wedding colors. We received nothing, but compliments and cheers. Thank you for making our wedding very memorable and special. I highly recommend this group of lion dancers! I researched and called 3 others and they were giving me a hard time with traveling to my reception, but Ane Thanh Lion Dance team did not make me sign a contract nor asked for a deposit, which surprised me. PROFESSIONAL team of dancers and RELIABLE! Lily & James read more

Wonderful team of lion dancers! This team of lion dancers have come and perform at our residence 4 times in the past years to help our family celebrate Tết. It's so much fun. They are all very friendly and accommodating. They will definitely add extra excitement to your celebration. read more

I wanted to wait until I get photos back from my wedding to write a review but I'll have to post it at a later time. I am 100% so happy I booked the ATLD team to perform for my wedding!!!! It was the best decision I made and have no regrets. We surprised all our guests including our parents and they were blown away! Everyone was so excited as soon as they heard the drums and saw the lions come in! I saw everyone's phone come out and some guests even chased our lions around to feed them money haha. They were very interactive and made their way around the room. It was a great performance and so easy to book! Tyler was soooo easy to work with. We only had less than 3 conversations and he came through for us! Don't regret booking them for you special event!!! Highly highly recommended!! read more

BEST DECISION I MADE FOR MY WEDDING! My husband and I booked the Ane Thanh Lion Dance team for our wedding on 11/20/2021 and we both couldn't be happier. Tyler was our point of contact via email and text. He was quick to respond and very thorough with his communication. The team arrived ahead of the scheduled time and was a great group of guys to talk to while we waited for the grand entrance. My husband and I made sure to keep this a surprise from our family and friends and boy, were they surprised! All of our guests loved them and we received so many compliments about them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY EVENT! Thank you again ATLD for making my wedding such a memorable one. read more

My first review. Yay me! I was lucky enough to get Ane Thanh to perform at our wedding on Feb 8th this year. Yes, during Tet. First off, they are super professional. I had been working with another group but they kept wanting to do less and less and did not sound committed to showing up and doing a great job. When the group we had booked back in June started whining, neither of us wanted to just drop the lions. Having lions was something I really wanted for my wedding. My husband had only seen them in parades but was very excited about having the lions. I thought, I'd rather work with someone else so I looked around. These guys were so easy to work with, no hassle about what we wanted clear pricing, immediate communication, and flexibility. I was already more than happy to cancel with the other group thanks to Ane Tranh's professionalism. Then there was the performance. I grew up with neighborhood Tet celebrations. We had lion dance battles some years. So I've seen my share of lion dances. Their performance was top notch, the guests were not familiar with lion dance, it was a complete surprise and they all just loved it, as did we. They were a huge hit. The lions are well maintained and obviously loved. The performers put a ton of energy and spirit into the lions and really created characters for them. The acrobatics were exciting and fun. We were very happy with it. All the children and most of the adults wanted their pictures taken with them and in every single one, people are grinning from ear to ear. I highly recommend them. I'm trying to think of excuses to use them again! read more

Mike and his team are FANTASTIC to work with. I contacted him about 4 days prior to my Wedding Ceremony (an outdoor venue with about 100 guests). He was absolutely accommodating, very nice, and pleasant to work with. They arrived just in time, checked out the venue, strategized with me on the best route to take (I wanted them to go down the winding staircases leading to the guest tables), and did their magic! The audience was a mixed crowd and three quarters of them had never seen a Lion Dance live before. They were so astounded and thought it was one of the highlights of the evening! I rented two Lions to come and perform. They were beautiful and the stunts were spectacular. Highly recommend Mike and his team! read more

Ane Thanh Lion Dance - Beautiful evening performance by Mike and his team - Performing Arts Near Me

I wish I could give them even more than 5 stars! For anyone looking to work with a super responsive and crazy talented team, you've found them! Michael was such a delight to work with and he was so prompt in every piece of communication with us from day one. I can't tell you how much it means to any bride to be to have good vendors on their side that give them piece of mind, and it shows that they have their client's best interest at heart. On the day of our wedding, the team performed after our grand entrance which made things even more exciting and enjoyable for our guests. This team is so skilled even when working with tight spacing between tables, and they interacted with the guests in creative ways that people couldn't stop talking about even days after our wedding. Michael and team, we are so grateful for your time, energy and love that you've shared with us throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. My husband and I knew we wanted to incorporate a beautiful part of our culture, and your team seriously delivered and nothing can replace the joy on our parents' faces so thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

If you're looking for a vendor that will entertain the crowd, look no further! These Lion Dancers were part of our wedding, and they made their presence known! I was in contact with Michael, and he made the experience extremely easy! Some wedding vendors were atrocious as some were very slow at responding but not Michael! He is on top of everything! It was about a 15-20 minute performance, and it was worth every penny. They interacted with the crowd as much as they could, and they made our wedding a lot more magical! We got a lot of phone calls from guests that they enjoyed the Lion Dance so much. :) Our wedding was in Pasadena, even though they were located in Fountain Valley. They were willing to travel. Thank you Michael and Ane Thanh! You guys made our wedding so memorable and fun! read more

10/10 would recommend! Professional and friendly. They danced for my wedding and everyone loved it!!! You're missing out if you don't book them. read more

Saw them perform, they were great. The people in it were funny and cool when talking to them.

We hired Ane Thahn troupe for our wedding because of the great reviews and we were not disappointed! When we initially spoke with Michael about reserving the team for our wedding his response time was unbelievably fast, we had a quote and confirmed the wedding date and time within an hour! At first, my family thought it would be so ridiculous to hire them because we have never seen lion dancers at a wedding, but I thought it would be nice to incorporate something this flamboyant for our multi-cultural wedding since we were already doing the Tea Ceremony. I could not believe my family's criticism: when the wedding day finally arrived and the troupe began performing my side of the family were the first to go up and dance with them and to hand them lai see (red envelopes)! They were incredible and were extremely responsive on the day of -- especially since wedding days are crazy no matter how much you plan. I'm not sure if they scoped out the venue prior to coming, but they did jumps and leaps and every one of my guests couldn't stop talking about them! They were MY FAVORITE part of the wedding, and all of my guests thought so too! We can't thank you guys enough for being apart of our special day! read more

Excellent job!!!! All of our guests from young to old enjoyed the lion dance performance. It was a complete surprise to the guests. I personally will recommend your group to family and friends. Michael has been responding to my request quickly. They came on time. Hurray for this group. Our theme was chinese it tied everything together. Thank you for coming and making our double birthday celebration a success and wonderful experience. read more

Michael and his crew showed up on time and were very courteous. The performance was phenomenal! I hired Michael and the Lion Dancers for my sons 10th birthday. We are a Hispanic family but my son is so intrigued by the Asian culture that we had A Chinese New Year theme party for him. The kids were so excited! The adults showed as much enthusiasm as the children! I thank my son for his curious and loving mind because it opened my eyes and heart more to other cultures! I definitely recommend them for any event! I know I will absolutely be doing business with them again in the future. This was a complete surprise for my son and they made 1 of his dreams come true! I thankyou and the other dancers for a job well done from the bottom of my heart! read more

I can't thank Ane Thanh Lion Dance enough for their amazing performance last Saturday at Westminster Mall! We needed entertainment who could perform at the mall for our kid's event. Booking and communication ran very smoothly- Michael was helpful and prompt in responding to any questions our team had. On performance day, the boys arrived early and set up fairly quickly. When it came to show time, they were interactive with the children and drew in quite the crowd. Thank you Ane Thanh Lion Dance for making our event successful and memorable! read more

We hired Ane Thanh to perform during our wedding banquet. From first contact many months ago to meeting and the actual performance these guys were kind, prompt and professional. You can even choose the lions you want! The performance itself was spectacular and truly a highlight of the evening. They dealt with less than ideal situation and very crowded restaurant with another large wedding going on like pros and smiles on their faces. Thank you so much!! read more

We hired Ane Thanh Lion Dance for our wedding reception and WHOA WOW AWESOME!!! We wanted a more traditional Vietnamese wedding reception and my husband (Jewish) suggested lion dancers. I had grown up with seeing them during the New Year, but that was it. Nostalgia kicked in, I agreed and found Ane Thanh. If you have any sort of event, hire them!!! Our guests OOH'd and AWW'd the entire time and that's all they talked about. No, they didn't talk about my Vietnamese Ao Dai in red and gold, or my traditional white wedding dress... They talked about how amazing the lion dance was to kick off our wedding. Thank you to Michael and Team! You guys did a truly fantastic job that is television ready with acrobatics worthy of Cirque Du Soleil. read more

I hired Ane Thanh Lion Dance Troupe to perform for my wedding and they were OUTSTANDING! From the actual performance to the planning that led up to it, I was continually impressed with the service, professionalism and attention to detail that these guys brought. I worked with Michael throughout the planning process and he was professional, responsive and an overall delight to work with. The Ane Thanh Lion Dance Troupe's performance was the highlight of our wedding and our guests continue to rave about what a special treat it was to see them perform. I recommend them to anyone looking for a Five Star Lion Dance Performance for their wedding or event. read more

Can I give six stars??? Ane Thanh came to our middle school for international week. They were fantastic! The kids absolutely loved their music and acrobatics. They ran around playing with the kids and showing great tricks! Everyone was wowed!!! Thank you Ane Thanh!!! read more

after another lion dance group fell through for my wedding, I contacted these guys at the last minute. they were extremely professional and courteous. I had them booked within hours without any problems. they also didn't ask me for a deposit nor did they ask me to sign a contract. the dance itself was fantastic. beautiful dragons, a great dance routine. they took oranges and cabbages into the lion's mouths and peeled'em and spit'em out while me and my fiance sat on chairs on the floor. everyone loved this dance group and about a dozen people asked me about them after the wedding. I would recommend these guys to anyone for any occasion. read more

We hired Ane Thanh Lion Dance to perform at our Chinese Wedding Banquet in Cerritos. I am from Northern California so my correspondence with Michael was via phone / email. He was so professional and delivered on every detail of what we had discussed! It definitely put me at ease since I was planning a dinner from afar while not actually being in Southern California. We and our guests were AMAZED by the performance!! So many phones were out taking photos and videos of the performance! I had so many guests compliment us on the lion dance and were told by quite a few that it was the best lion dance they had ever seen! We even had some people who were just having dinner in the main dining room peak in on the performance :) The restaurant where our banquet was held had very high ceilings so the dancers were able to perform some pretty amazing tricks. I highly recommend Ane Thanh Lion Dance to give your special occasion that WOW factor and make it quite a memorable event! read more

This review is long overdue. My husband and I hired Ane Thanh Lion Dance for our wedding in Orange County almost year ago today. It was one of the best last minute decisions that we made for the wedding. We hired them probably 3 days before the wedding. They were so pleasant to work with and accommodating to our busy schedule. They showed up with more than enough time to set up. Our wedding even ran behind schedule, my husband and I were so apologetic to them and without any hesitation one of the guys told us not to even worry about it. The nicest group of people I've met! They were a big hit at the wedding, especially since we did not tell any of our guests that the lions were part of it. I would hire them in heart beat again! read more

Our church had our annual Lunar New Year celebration and the theme was on cultural awareness rather than having speakers like we do every year. The asian population has grown dramatically at our church so we wanted to build community. Of all the groups I found, Ane Thanh was my personal favorite. They were available so we hire them and did not disappoint. What you see is what you get. I read many reviews where they comment Ane Thanh was professional and they were, VERY professional. To my surprise, Kevin, their group leader for the night was AWESOME. I just show him where they need to be and he handle everything. Our goal was to attract as many people to attend the event after church service. It was incredible. They did a short performance to attract the church goers' attention and the lions climb the staircase to an upper room leading people to the event. Due to the increase amount of people attending, the event started late and the crew was patient. Even after they perform, they were supposed to stay for photos for 10 min., but ended up staying much longer as they were a hit with the crowd. Their performance was AMAZING given the limited amount of space. We normally get 120-130 people to this event, but this year, there were 300. It was a successful event. They were engaging with the audience and I would recommend them 100% for any celebration. Matthew, thank you for having an English banner roll out by the lion at the end. It was a special touch. I've seen Chinese and Vietnamese New Year words, but never in English. Thank you for fulfilling my request. Your team ROCK and we hope to see you in the near future for other events! Judy T.

We want to take this opportunity to thank Michael and Ane Thanh Lion Dance for their superb performance at our wedding reception. Michael was a pleasure to do business with and we greatly appreciate that he helped us keep the lion dance performance hidden from all of our guests for our grand entrance surprise (not even our parents nor our bridal party knew about it). The lion dance was one of the highlights of our evening & all of our family and guests had truly enjoyed it. The process to book the lions was so easy, as all we had to do was confirm their availability, pick your lion(s) and scrolls. Thank you again for making our celebration an unforgettable night & for having the lions bring in the good fortune and luck! Anyone looking for a beautiful, traditional lion dance, look no further and please contact Ane Thanh. read more
