臺灣競技舞龍發展之研究─以中華台北龍獅運動協會為例

本研究旨在探討臺灣競技舞龍發展的過程，並以主要推展此項運動的單位─中華台北龍獅運動協會為本研究之對象，探討協會對於競技舞龍推展的工作以及未來發展方向。本研究主要採用歷史研究法及文獻分析法，輔以對臺灣競技舞龍發展及中華台北龍獅運動協會活動辦理之重要人士與參與協會辦理活動賽事之人物進行訪談與田野調查，蒐集相關文獻加以整理、分析、客觀的評鑑，提出結論如下：

一、臺灣舞龍的發展起源於村莊廟會，因環境變化，轉變成各公司行號開幕慶典，其後為了提升舞龍技術，開始參與國際賽事，才真正發展成競技舞龍。

二、中華台北龍獅運動協會係目前國際兩大主要龍獅運動組織─國際龍獅運動聯合會、亞洲龍獅運動聯合會承認在臺灣龍獅運動唯一的對外窗口，並為臺灣地區辦理國際龍獅賽事活動主要之單位。且協會站在體育運動發展的角度，以學校作為主要推展方向，建立未來競技舞龍專項的升學管道，以利臺灣競技舞龍的發展。

三、協會推展之業務工作，使得臺灣競技舞龍日漸蓬勃發展，除一般競賽辦理之外，積極辦理教練、裁判研習會，更參與國際培訓班，強化臺灣競技舞龍技術與知識，配以科學化訓練，使得中華代表隊名列國際前茅。
