Developing cultural and artistic activities through digital technology

It has become a tradition that every day at 6:30 p.m., members of the Folk Dance Club of the Women's Association of Dan Tu Village, Tan Phu Commune, Vinh Tuong District gather at the village cultural house to practice. Everyone is excited to practice dances to the music played from a smartphone connected to a Bluetooth speaker. In the digital age, these devices have contributed to improving the quality of life, making cultural and artistic activities of local clubs more effective.

Ms. Duong Thi Huyen, a club member, said: “Instead of having to use a cassette player running on CDs and cassette tapes like many years ago, modern digital technology devices now help us easily access and participate in local cultural and artistic movements and activities.

For the folk dance movement, the exercises posted on social networks are very diverse, helping women freely choose exercises suitable for each purpose and topic. From there, it not only trains for good health but also enriches the spiritual life of members, attracting an increasing number of people to register to join the club with more than 30 members practicing regularly.

Talking about cultural and artistic activities in the 4.0 era, Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Tan Phu commune Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong said: "Along with the development of digital technology devices, the cultural and artistic movement flourishing on social networking platforms has created a positive effect, becoming a useful playground for art enthusiasts.

One of the most popular art forms on social networks is sports folk dance. Not only Dan Tu village, but also most of the women's associations in the commune have established a regularly operating folk dance club. Initially, there was no instructor, so club members often went online to learn each dance step, then those who knew how to teach those who didn't. Learning from video tutorials, after just a few sessions, the members had memorized the lessons, then combined the music into a complete dance.

In addition to regularly practicing and performing for events and competitions launched by authorities at all levels, folk dance clubs also actively post folk dance images and videos and organize online livestream performances on social networking platforms Tiktok and Facebook. The videos and images posted are loved and shared by a large audience, which is the motivation for the clubs to continue to have more effective activities in the future."
