Description Chèo – Vietnamese traditional stage art in Ninh Bình province Along with folk music and tunes, dance is also an important element included in Chèo singing to express character emotions and images. Chèo dance is similar to other folk dances in the Northern Delta such as múa tay (dance with hands), múa quạt (dance with a fan), múa gậy (dance with a stick) and so on. Chèo dance language (the way of dancer’s movements) is used flexibly by artists to express different types of character (protagonists and antagonists), which has contributed significantly to the vitality of every Chèo performance.
