Group dance in the park

More than 3 years ago, it started as a small group of more than 10 people who loved group dancing. Early in the morning at Vo Van Kiet Park, they practiced each dance together to the gentle music, imbued with the identity of their homeland.

At that time, Ms. Vu Thi Bong, residing in Phu Trinh ward - the person who established this dance group from the very beginning, shared: "Sports dancing is an attractive entertainment activity, but it is also an effective exercise that brings good health and a beautiful body. Through group dancing, women can expand their communication, learn, get closer to each other and make everyone's spirit more refreshing". Then, over the years, the number of people participating in the group dance team has increased gradually. Most of the women are over 50 years old, but the dances are soft, strong and skillful. Ms. Nguyen Lien, residing on Truong Han Sieu street, one of the group's stylish dancers, said: "In addition to health benefits, dancing to music also helps many women have a relaxed spirit, a healthy body, and a happier life...". To encourage more people to participate regularly, Ms. Lien and some women in the group have encouraged members to make uniforms. The women in difficult circumstances were helped financially by other women. Therefore, each of them had 3 blue, yellow, and pink dresses to dance to add color to the park, contributing to building a healthy and modern cultural lifestyle in the community.

In order to create conditions for the development and expansion of collective dancing in the park, on January 20, 2024, the Women's Union of Phu Thuy Ward (Phan Thiet) issued a decision to establish the club "Folk dance for fun and sports at Vo Van Kiet Park". The purpose of the club's activities is to practice and exchange folk dance performances; integrate propaganda of the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws, local regulations and implement the emulation movement "Building Vietnamese women of the new era" and the campaign to build a family of 5 no 3 clean, contributing to fostering Vietnamese family values".

On the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8, 2024, the "Vo Van Kiet Park Sports Dance Club" won first prize in the "Healthy and Beautiful Dance" contest organized by Phu Thuy Ward. Recently, on April 6, 2024, the "Vo Van Kiet Park Sports Dance Club" participated in the 2nd Vietnam Community Nutrition Day held in Ho Chi Minh City and won second prize among 25 participating dance teams.
