I am looking for dragon dance performance videos, either from
tournaments or actual training videos, from either web sites or stores
(online or mail order). My main purpose is to analyze these videos and
learn how they do their "tricks" or stunts.

To clarify:
Dragon Dance - is a type of chinese dance that typically requires the
coordination of 9 people or more, versus the 2-person Lion Dance. It
is featured on this web site (http://www.linisus.com/dragon/), with
pictures if you are unsure of what it looks like.

Videos - I do not mind if these videos may be purchased (VHS or DVD)
or viewed online. If they are available online, I hope that they are
relatively high in quality. I also request that they are detailed and
long enough in length to be useful and analyzed.
- Please, no excerpts from movies. 
- These videos do not have to be english; the movies may be enough for me.
- Please, no pictures, unless they contain great detail and are in sequence.

I have found the following with my own research:
1) Genting Dragon Dance tournaments (online video clips, the best ones
I have found so far, but looking for something more detailed and
longer... I wish their customer service would reply to me about
ordering those videos if they were available!) -
http://www.genting.com.my/en/videoclips/2002/dragon_dance/index.htm

2) Supertsai.net (currently down, a few but not useful dragon clips)
- http://www.supertsai.net/

3) Edmonton McNally Dragon Team (contains few video clips, but
not what I would be looking for, in terms of length or quality) -
http://www.linisus.com/dragon/


Dead ends:

http://www.hakwokcheung.com/index1.htm

I have been researching very hard for this information for the longest
time. Please do not mind if I dislike a suggested answer; a lot of
videos are redundant or horrible in quality, and I have seen a lot of
poor material unfortunately. If a location for videos (to view or
order online or mail) is adequately found, I'd be incredibly grateful.
Of course, I will offer a tip to those who go above my expectations.

Thanks!
