The contest “National Dance Talent
2008” was held in
Hanoi
, attracting 49
contestants from 23 artistic troupes nationwide. The success of the
contest brought the truth to those who have a great passion for this art
form and a generation of vital and creative young dancers and
choreographers.
After six years since the national
dance talent contest in 2002, the dancing sector had just conditions to
organize the event that served as a firm foundation for the sector’s
coming regular contests and provided chances to discover talents and
encourage dancers, particularly young artists who have made great
sacrifices to building the dancing art of Vietnam.
At this
contest, almost all contestants were very young, ranging from about 18 to
25 years old. They participated in all genres of dancing, such as European
classical dancing, national dancing, contemporary dancing, etc. People’s
Artist Chu Thuy Quynh, Chairwoman of Vietnam Dancers’ Association, said
that there was not much difference in the professional levels among
dancers and she highly appreciated skilful techniques and creative
idiosyncrasies of contestants. Some of them performed difficult techniques
well, such as acrobatics and new skills that require the artist’s
hard-training.
Among the young talented dancers, Ta
Thuy Chi highly impressed the enthusiasts and judges. The “golden girl”
spent nine years studying and performing in
China
. She
is now working as an assistant professor at
Ho Chi Minh City’s
Dancing
School
. With two items “A group of
three people” choreographed by her and “Nam Phuong mau te”, she showed her
talent by basic, strong dancing movements and the harmonious combination
of feeling, movements and music.
Also, the combination of flexible and
strong dancing movement of contestant Nguyen Thi Thanh Hang from the
Army’s
Art
School
when she performed “The fate”
helped the audience sympathize with the character who overcame
difficulties in life with an aspiration to live with noble and beautiful
values. It is impossible not to mention dancers Cao Duc Toan, Phan Van
Luong, Quynh Thuong and Phuong Duy who performed traditional items, such
as “Thi No-Chi Pheo”, “The call of the wild” and “Ho Nguyet turns into a
fox”, and contemporary items of “Kep ba la”, “For the love”..
The contest showed the maturity and
creativeness of a young generation of dancers and brought the public a
hope of enthusiastic progress of the
Vietnam
’s dancing art in the future.
