夏家龍獅隊成立於1924年，九十年間均以「信譽卓著，精益求精」作為服務宗旨，並希望宣揚中國傳統喜慶文化，打造人所共知的國際舞獅品牌。夏國璋龍獅團至今已經歷過四代相傳－夏漢雄、夏國璋、夏德建、夏敬文。勇奪七次世界醒獅比賽冠軍的「世界獅王之王」夏敬文繼承祖業後，致力將龍獅武術表演舞台化，引入企業管理發展傳統行業。

我們致力為客戶提供專業的表演服務，憑著多年來的豐富經驗，獲得各大國際企業、香港政府及專上學府長期支持，當中包括匯豐銀行，海港城，半島酒店等等。

為了滿足客戶不同的需要，我們提供了不同類型的表演服務，當中包括金龍，夜光龍，燈獅等等。除了舞龍舞獅外，亦有武術及鼓樂表演。除此之外，我們意識到醒獅文化在日新月異的社會中，必須有著創新精神才可更上一層樓，所以首創「Hip Hop Lion Dance」，以強勁的音樂節拍作為背景音樂取代傳統的樂器，大大提升其觀賞價值，推出後更是大受歡迎。
