HÀ NỘI — The Hà Nội Association of Dancing Artists has launched a competition for new dances that can be easily learned and performed, according to Nguyễn Văn Bích, the association’s president.

The dances should be set to melodies and movements of traditional folk dances. They should be easy to learn and perform at community cultural activities. “We expect that dancing will help beautify life, help us live healthier and with more positive attitudes and get the public involved in cultural activities,” he said.

The qualifying round will end in April. The shortlisted dances will be introduced and practised at universites, schools and cultural centres. The final round and awards ceremony will take place in October. — VNS
