Very nice display! What does this Chinese New year represent!?

It's more for good luck. Although it's not just for Chinese New Year. It's performed in important events which includes opening of a business, shop, office, etc.
Wiki has a whole writeup about lion dance and the moves can be quite fancy if you see some of the competition level ones.

Lion dance
Lion dance (simplified Chinese: 舞狮; traditional Chinese: 舞獅; pinyin: wǔshī) is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture and other Asian countries in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume to bring good luck and fortune. The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other Chinese traditional, cultural and religious festivals. It may also be performed at important occasions such as business opening events, special celebrations or wedding ceremonies, or may be used to honour special guests by the Chinese communities.
The Chinese lion dance is sometimes mistakenly referred to as dragon dance by most first timers.
