What are the developments of Lao dance?

In Laos, traditional education plays an important role in people's daily life, and students must learn the traditional dances of Laos. Every young man has to be a monk in a temple for several weeks before entering the society. Cultural and traditional education also plays an important role in the family, such as instilling the idea of respecting the elderly in young people.

Dance education in Laos is relatively popular. In Laos, there are only junior colleges in professional dance schools. If students need a bachelor's degree or above, they need to study in neighboring countries, such as Cambodia. During the dance construction in Laos, Vietnam was once a brother country, helping it to establish a dance discipline and teach its experience in running a school.

At the National Lao Music and Dance School in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, students learn and rehearse traditional dances. Traditional dance is very popular in Laos, and many traditional festivals and weddings will be performed.

Laos broadcasts a large number of music and dance programs every day, and Thai music and dance broadcasting is very popular in Laos. Now many young Lao people prefer Thai dance and music. In addition, with the acceleration of the process of world integration, some European and American dances and Japanese and Korean dances were quickly introduced to Laos. However, Laos still retains its passion for Lao traditional and popular dances.

The dance exchange between China and Laos began after the 1960s. In the 1990s, China and Laos had very close visits and exchanges in dance.
