The joy of dance

The Bac Giang Dance Association was established in 2023 (after the merger of the two provinces, the name was changed to Bac Ninh Dance Association) by musician Dao Hong Thach, born in 1958, currently the Chairman of the Bac Ninh Music Association (Bac Ninh Province Literature and Arts Association). The Association gathers more than 20 people with different backgrounds, ages, and occupations in wards and communes such as Bac Giang, Chu, Yen The, Tan Yen, Kinh Bac, Tien Du... to participate. Most of the members are the chairmen and vice chairmen of "branded" dance clubs in the province.

The purpose of the Association is to foster and improve sports dance techniques for the club leaders, and to serve as the core in teaching grassroots members. Many people live 20-40 km from the center of Bac Giang ward, but still regularly attend activities. Here, they are taught many advanced, artistic dance techniques with dances such as: Latin Standard, Cha cha cha, Rumba...

Sport dancing was first born in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, associated with balls of the upper class. This is an art with many nuances, requiring dancers to combine many factors: Speed, strength, quickness, endurance, dexterity, flexibility... Musician Dao Hong Thach shared that to have beautiful dance steps, in addition to talent, members must be persistent and passionate about practicing. Although he has many years of experience teaching dance, he still regularly spends money to attend advanced training courses taught by foreign instructors. After each course, he returns to teach free of charge to members of the association.

From this attractive art playground, everyone feels happy, healthy, and loves life, the members' feelings are more connected, contributing to spreading the dance movement in the community. Ms. Hoang Thi Ha, born in 1977, from Chu ward, a freelancer, said she learned to dance 10 years ago, but only basic techniques. Last September, she and some people from her hometown joined the Bac Ninh Dance Association. "We learned many advanced techniques. The movements are more graceful and beautiful than before. When we returned to our hometown to teach, everyone was very excited because they learned many new and attractive dances. One person taught another, creating a vibrant movement," Ms. Ha said.

Although established for just over 2 years, the Association regularly competes and wins many provincial and national awards as well as open awards organized by provinces and cities. In addition to major competitions, members of the Bac Ninh Dance Association also directly direct dance performances of many units in the province participating in festivals, cultural and artistic festivals and winning high prizes.
