前方舞台上還有人發表講話,趕緊去聽聽吧.發言用四種語言進行-粵語,英語,法語和國語.國語由一位白人小夥子負責,講得字正腔圓.想必是在武當山上修練過吧.

原來這裡是國際道家太極拳社主辦的2011太極日活動.今天全世界26個國家的會員代表們齊聚多倫多,宣傳太極文化.

發言完畢就進行舞龍表演同遊行.

今天會場上有兩條龍.其中一條龍體型超長,可以繞整個廣場一圈了.舞龍者幾乎都是白人,有老年人,也有小學生.

另一條稍短,但更加靈活.時不時的奔跑跳躍,變化出各種造型.

這龍頭形象還真威猛.不過小朋友們沒有被嚇壞,反倒很願意去親近巨龍.

舞龍和遊行隊伍在市中心巡遊一週後,回到登打士廣場,繼續打太極. 連來觀光的南亞老太也忍不住要加入…拍照留念.

國際道家太極拳社的宗旨是:
1.將太極健身運動帶給所有需要的人
2.宣傳太極的健身效果
3.促進文化交流,傳播中華文化
4.幫助他人
