In the dance, they like to fly in the music with the beat of the music. They seem to be incarnating into the traditional dance of Trieu Khuc village during the festival ...
Once a year, the people of Trieu Khuc village (Tan Trieu commune, Thanh Tri, Hanoi) organize festivals and every three years come to a great ceremony. Every festival, the village often holds holy procession, flag-running ceremony, incense-offering ceremony, dragon dance ... And cradling dance is a dance performed in the procession of Holy Communion from Sac temple to Dai Dinh. Legend has it that after winning the battle to return to Trieu Khuc, Duc Phung Hung let boys pretend to be girls to dance and entertain soldiers. And this dance is performed in the village festival to this day.
Dancing in Trieu Khuc village is performed in pairs, often dancing in opposite positions: back to back, face to face, limbs symmetrical. The movements are sometimes bent in the shape of flowers, sometimes gliding down the drum, when brandishing high up. Then the stride, rotation, footsteps jump when crouching, when striding in music. The most interesting thing is that this skillful dance is performed by the boys of Trieu Khuc village. In order to protect the village's ancient dances, the dancers in Trieu Khuc village have long been neither passed to girls nor to any strangers. According to the law, the one chosen to dance in a gala dance must be a child who is docile and obedient, and moreover must be a person with muscular flexibility, love and passion for dance. In order to choose a suitable dancer in a couple, the elderly in the village had to "aim" available for a long time, after that. When learning to dance, students not only need to memorize dance movements but also need to know how to enter the mind, expressing the spirit of the dance. Dance movements and charisma when dancing must be practiced long ago. Those who are not selected can only participate in drumming, tapping the bar to serve the dancing couple.
Costumes of the dancing people include the white cloak, red lotus leaf coveralls embroidered with saffron studded with iridescent tentacles, red turban, scarves, pink belts, black pleated skirts, white pants, and white socks. In addition, the ballerina also makeups pink cheeks, rubbing eyes and shavings just like girls. In the sacrifices at the main communal house, when offering wine, the dancing dance begins. At that time, there were usually one or two dancing couples. In the voice drum, the sound of the drum, the drum drum bustle and bustle, the artists like incarnation into dance. They turned to hit their buttocks, glided across, they swung their hands, stroking the drums. Viewers also like being caught in the dance in the sweet scent of aroma, in the atmosphere both solemn and bustling of the sacrifice.
When the procession is performed, the ball dance is held outdoors, the dance movements are more liberal and more flying. The dancers, in addition to having to perform dexterous movements, precise movements still in the symmetrical position, but also dancing and moving along the procession. The artist then focused his mind on dancing. They almost forgot the underlined road. Forget the passionate eyes of the audience. In the vibrant colors of the flag, of the costumes, in the drums, the sounds of the people, their footsteps danced rhythmically, especially their eyes were still fluttering and swinging. They still shoot in pairs, still in dance. Both the procession and the dancer drift together in the spring breeze, in the bustling spring festival atmosphere.
