00:00:04.423 --> 00:00:08.583 
Every Tet holiday and spring comes, the
sound of lion stringing spreads throughout the streets. 

00:00:09.043 --> 00:00:12.384 
This is the time when the lion and
dragon dance troupe Hoa Anh Dao in Can 

00:00:12.384 --> 00:00:14.263 
Tho city enters the busy season of the year. 

00:00:14.823 --> 00:00:18.093 
From opening dances to spring
celebrations, the troupe's schedule is 

00:00:18.093 --> 00:00:20.383 
always long with performance runs throughout Tet. 

00:00:21.044 --> 00:00:24.537 
My performance schedule is from the 1st
to the 9th, when I want to 

00:00:24.537 --> 00:00:25.784 
finish rolling and performing, sister. 

00:00:26.484 --> 00:00:30.484 
The first is the cheers of the audience,
and the second is the handshakes. 

00:00:30.704 --> 00:00:34.384 
And that is my unique power for the
fourth time I perform with the Tet rolling troupe. 

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.231 
From New Year's Eve to the 9th day of
Tet, that is the activity 

00:00:39.231 --> 00:00:40.440 
schedule of the brothers. 

00:00:40.940 --> 00:00:45.350 
During these Tet days, perhaps the
brothers will not celebrate Tet at 

00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:46.820 
home like everyone else. 

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.060 
Besides, to compensate for the
audience's reception in each performance, 

00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:57.305 
then that is the motivation for the
brothers to be excited in 

00:00:57.305 --> 00:00:58.720 
the lion hat performance. 

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.080 
Behind each performance are the
enthusiasm and hard training days of 

00:01:03.080 --> 00:01:04.299 
the members of the troupe. 

00:01:04.679 --> 00:01:08.089 
For them, each challenge on the training
floor is not only about practicing 

00:01:08.089 --> 00:01:11.499 
skills but also a way to affirm their
determination to pursue their passion. 

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:16.132 
Preparation before Tet is about 1 month,
during the training process is from 5 

00:01:16.132 --> 00:01:17.580 
am to 7 am daily. 

00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:23.183 
And I am trying to practice every day
and bring better and more special 

00:01:23.183 --> 00:01:26.180 
performances to the audience
during this Tet holiday. 

00:01:26.324 --> 00:01:31.099 
The training of the brothers will be
more intensive than normal days to 

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:34.404 
prepare for special performances during
the Lunar New Year. 

00:01:34.744 --> 00:01:38.709 
Performing the performances of Song Lan,
Chuc Phuc, Phuoc Loc Tho, Chuc Tet, Tu 

00:01:38.709 --> 00:01:41.824 
Quy, Huong Long, Lan Dan Dia
and Hai Lap Tren Cao. 

00:01:42.244 --> 00:01:48.113 
Currently, it is an art form that is
also loved by young people and joining 

00:01:48.113 --> 00:01:53.199 
the troupe helps the art of performing
lion hats to become more and 

00:01:53.199 --> 00:01:54.764 
more stable and developed. 

00:01:56.511 --> 00:02:00.475 
Amidst the modern pace of life, the
members of the troupe still maintain the 

00:02:00.475 --> 00:02:01.891 
drumbeat and traditional lion dances. 

00:02:02.451 --> 00:02:06.683 
This is not only a job but also an
effort of young people to preserve and 

00:02:06.683 --> 00:02:10.651 
promote the art of lion and dragon
dances, contributing to creating joy for the audience.
