BRINGING FOLK SONGS AND DANCES INTO SCHOOLS IN THANH HOA NOWADAYS

Abstract

Folk songs are cultural and spiritual products crystallized from labor and production activities of the Vietnamese. As one of the earliest art forms, many genres of folk songs and dances remaining to this day have become special cultural assets that prove the identity and pride of each community. Thanh Hoa is imbued with a long history covered with many forms of existing cultural heritages, including a treasure  of folk songs and dances. Fully being aware of the importance of this art form and the way of teaching - learning and passing it on is one of the important directions for effective protection of cultural heritages in contemporary life.
