Viet Nam, Lion Dance of the Tay and Nung People(Young Lion Head and Body)
Description Lion Dance of the Tay and Nung listed in the National ICH List in 2017 The Lion Dance of the Tay and Nung of Lang Son City, Viet Nam, is usually performed during New Year celebrations. Villagers wearing lion masks perform dances to wish for a prosperous life and to ward off evil. The lion dance has become an important part of the cultural identity of the Tay and Nung communities by combining local cultural elements, traditional martial arts, and folk dances through migration and cultural exchange between ethnic groups in the border region. A Lion Dance team typically consists of 12 to 14 performers. Members of the team perform lion dance, martial arts dance, acrobatics, and monkey dances. Additionally, they play drums, gongs, and cymbals. The dance embodies humanistic values and promotes community solidarity, fostering harmonious interaction with the natural environment.
