    Mr. Tran Chi Nguyen - from Kim Long troupe (Ca Mau province) - shared that to perform Mai Hoa Thung movements skillfully, the dancer must spend more than 1 year of persistent practice. Not only requiring the ability to maintain balance, the lion head dancer must also skillfully control the lion's parts, expressing different emotions. In addition, the rhythmic coordination of the person behind, the sound of drums, gongs and the whole troupe is the key factor to the success of the performance.

Mr. Trieu Van Khuon - Head of the Phu Quy Duong Lion-Dragon-Unicorn Art Troupe (Soc Trang province) - said that the troupe had gathered more than 30 members, practicing every night for 3 months to prepare for this year's Tet performances. The exercises were gradually increased from simple lion dances to tree climbing and drum practice, demonstrating careful investment in both skills and physical strength.
    Man chao ket thuc tiet muc lan leo cot vo cung dieu luyen.
    The salute ended with a very skillful lion climbing performance.
