Modern and contemporary dance
Classical ballet has developed to a high level in Viet Nam, with leading Vietnamese choreographers creating a large body of distinctive Vietnamese dance works by fusing traditional dance and movements from classical theatre with the techniques of western ballet. The Viet Nam Opera-Ballet Theatre (
Nha hat Nhac Vu kich Viet Nam) incorporates a full ballet company and orchestra. A contemporary dance troupe has recently been set up within the company to provide a vehicle for the work of its acclaimed young choreographers’ group.
