The folk dance movement is a cultural and sports activity that is loved and practiced by members and women in the province, bringing joy and health to women of all ages from urban to rural areas.
Happy and healthy from dancing
“We walk among the golden stars, the forest of fluttering flags/ The bustling, passionate footsteps come here/ Oh Saigon! For many years, we have believed that one day of joyful liberation will come”. With the cheerful background music of the song “The Country is Full of Joy”, played from a portable speaker in the corner of the park, the members of the Sac Mau group (Lien Huong town, Tuy Phong district) are enthusiastically performing decisive movements, in harmony between their hands, feet and bodies.
For more than 4 years now, it has become a tradition that every 5 hours, the Sac Mau group gathers at 17/4 Park and practices folk dance exercises together. The group consists of 20 members, all over 50 and 60 years old, including Mrs. Hai Te, who is 82 years old this year, but when they see the benefits of exercise and the enthusiasm and solidarity of the sisters, they still happily participate.
All the dances were found by the group on the internet, learned from YouTube, and then instructed by each other. Among the 16 members who often perform at exchange programs, Ms. Kim Thoa is the most talented, so she was assigned the task of correcting the movements for the sisters. According to the sisters, sports dance does not require high technical skills, usually simple, easy-to-remember movements, on a lively, cheerful background music, expressing love for the homeland and country. Therefore, although there are many elderly people in the group, when immersed in each movement and dance, everyone feels young and dynamic, so each new song is memorized after only a few practice sessions.
After an hour of vigorous exercise, the women gathered to chat and share stories about family, farming, business, etc., thus re-energizing themselves for a new day to live happily, healthily, and more usefully.
