Shaolin Temple Cultural Center — Attraction in Houston

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Shaolin Temple Cultural Center perform at various grand openings and special events—especially during Lunar New Year celebrations—and they never fail to impress! Their lion dance and dragon dance performances are truly the heart of the festivities. These traditional cultural displays bring not just color and energy, but also a deep sense of joy and community spirit to any celebration.

The team is incredibly professional, yet they manage to keep things light-hearted and fun for people of all ages. The lion dancers in particular are a delight to watch—they’re full of personality, playful, and engaging. It’s a cultural tradition to offer red envelopes (hongbao) to the lions, and they’ll come up close, interact with you, and perform a playful dance to accept it. It’s such a cute and memorable experience that adds a unique charm to the event.

Beyond entertainment, their performances are rooted in tradition—symbolizing blessings, good fortune, prosperity, and happiness for the event and its attendees. Whether you’re celebrating a grand opening, holiday, or any special milestone, I highly recommend including the Shaolin Temple Cultural Center. Their presence elevates any event, and their passion and skill shine through every move.

Truly a top-notch team that spreads joy and positive energy...

They have plenty of equipment to be able to do multiple styles, and enough room to be able to do forms and sets. The venue is equipped as well with a small shower area to wash off after an intense workout. I definitely want to come back again in the...
