Hi, Winson! I'm able to support the lion head with only my left arm for short periods; it's like holding a pizza box with one hand. My right-hand (dominant) reaches up to tug on whichever ear string I'm trying to manipulate. I pull the string quite close to where the lion ear connects - this prevents accidentally pulling on other strings and making the lion look like it's half-asleep or wiggling both ears when you only want one. If you struggle with holding the lion head steady with one arm, practice using the head-pad inside the lion too! Your head/neck can help your arm for balancing the lion while your other hand is doing something else (adjusting a qing, collecting a hongbao, advanced eye/ear movements, etc.). Hope that helps!
Thank you for this. I'm a Lion Dancer in England and I've really wanted to up my Lion dancing game recently so this is a huge help.
Thanks for visiting! Glad we were able to help.
I like the colour of your lion head
This is a great video, thank you so much!

How are your hands and arms positioned when you pull on one ear?
