These are dances created and staged by lecturers, artists and actors in the army. Through this, we promote the value of Vietnamese revolutionary art and national cultural identity, while at the same time creating innovation, transformation and unity in cultural and spiritual activities for soldiers. From there, we build the beauty of soldiers, enhance aesthetic values, build a regular, elite army, gradually modernize, and adapt to the development trend and enjoy art in the new era.
Together with other military units in the province, implementing documents and instructions from superiors, in early 2024, Regiment 254, the Provincial Military Command selected and assigned cadres as the "core" of the arts to participate in training according to the plan. After the training period, Regiment 254 developed a training plan and assigned cadres to organize dissemination and guidance to 100% of cadres and soldiers of agencies and units under the regiment.
To ensure time to perform other tasks, Regiment 254 has directed its subordinate agencies and units to organize dance instruction and practice for officers and soldiers on days off and during breaks; practice time is usually early in the morning or late in the afternoon, about 90 minutes/session.
In the first days of training, officers and soldiers encountered some difficulties in getting used to the movements, feeling the music, and moving in formation. To help officers and soldiers easily absorb and practice the dances proficiently, the instructors divided them into teams and practice groups; meticulously guided each movement and each section many times, then "matched" the music for each part and each song. With the attractive rhythm, youthful, decisive, easy-to-perform movements, and enthusiastic spirit, officers and soldiers at Regiment 254 quickly practiced the dances well according to the regulations.
Attending a dance practice session of officers and soldiers, we felt the excited and enthusiastic atmosphere of the practice. Different from the image of serious soldiers in daily life or when performing tasks, during the folk dance practice session, with a relaxed and happy spirit, hundreds of officers and soldiers joined in the music, performing beautiful and synchronized dances.
Each dance has different meanings and movements. Accordingly, as the name suggests, on the heroic background music of the song “For the People, Forgetting Yourself”, the dance “Belief” is performed by soldiers with strong, decisive movements, expressing belief and determination to complete the assigned tasks well.
Inspired by the music of the song “Liberation of Dien Bien”, with the material being traditional dances of ethnic groups across the country, the dance “Military and People” shows a high level of connection and solidarity.
For the dances “Marching” and “Young Soldiers”, the movements are youthful, strong, and fast, in line with the youthful spirit of the young army. The dance “Peace” has flexible, graceful movements, symbolic of the determined theme.
Organizing dance practices according to regulations has helped improve healthy and beneficial cultural and spiritual life; train and improve physical fitness; build solidarity and attachment for officers and soldiers in the army. Through this, it also arouses pride in the tradition of the Vietnam People's Army, love for the homeland and country, and trains the will and determination of soldiers. The new dances promise to be attractive and novel spiritual "food" for soldiers, used for regular practice and performance in unit activities and local mass mobilization work.
