Bamboo Dance & Games
Celebrate the vibrant spirit of Vietnam through movement, laughter, and friendly competition! This event is a celebration of community, and everyone is invited. Whether you are a lifelong local, a member of the Vietnamese diaspora, or someone who just loves discovering new cultures, we welcome you to join the fun.
From the rhythmic beat of bamboo poles to the high-flying excitement of the shuttlecock, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The Main Attractions
Bamboo Dance (Múa Sạp): Test your rhythm and agility! This iconic dance involves jumping between moving bamboo poles. It’s a rhythmic challenge that is as much about teamwork as it is about timing.
Kick Shuttlecock (Đá Cầu): Vietnam’s favorite pastime. Using your feet, knees, and chest, keep the feathered shuttlecock in the air. We’ll have open circles for beginners and showcases for those with flair.
Tug of War (Kéo Co): A true test of collective strength! This isn’t just a game; it’s a symbol of unity. Gather your team and see if you have the power to pull your way to victory.
