(HBO) - Zumba dance for children is now attracting the active participation of small children. Out of the fifteen clubs and gifted classes, which are being regularly maintained at the Provincial Youth Activity Center, Zumba Kid Club is considered the most outstanding club, creating a healthy and useful playground with great experiences for the children at the age of four to twelve.

Pham Phuong Nhi, a pupil of class 1A2, Nguyen Tat Thanh high school (Hoa
Binh City) has joined the Zumba Kid club since she was in the 4-year-old
kindergarten class. At that time, the distance from the kindergarten to the
club is very close, so it is suitable for her schedule. Now, it takes more than
30 minutes from Nhi's primary school to the club in the school’s bus if not for
other reasons.
However, she really loves zumba dance, so Mrs. Hung, Nhi's mother has decided to allow her child to attend the club
even though the time and conditions of the transportation are not as convenient
as before. She herself has always been attached to the club's activities for
three years, so she highly appreciates the club experience that has brought to
the children. As a result of this, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons
in nearly a year, after school, Nhi takes a bus to go straight to the club for
the extracurricular activities that has become her indispensable passion.
like Pham Phuong Nhi, more than thirty other members in Hoa Binh Zumba Club
are very passionate about zumba dance and useful experiences of the Club. In
the relaxing atmosphere and cheerful music background, the small children are
guided to continuous and stretching movements, high jumps, twists, hip shaking,
belly sticks, hand-foot-head
coordination with zumba intensity which are suitable for the children to help
their bodies more supple, faster and more spiritual, after a stressful learning
day.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
