Shan State will represent Myanmar in ten days of traditional dance competitions to be held in Vietnam on August 11. The competition is held every year among different ASEAN countries according to the Ministry of Culture.
"The Ministry of Culture gave instructions on participation of Shan traditional dances which are representing Myanmar in this year. In previous years, Rakhine and Mon nationals had participated their traditional songs and dances in the contests," said an official from the department of Archaeological Research, National Museums and Libraries.
Contestants will perform 11 kinds of Shan national songs and dances in the traditional dance competition. Costs of travel will be shared by the Shan State Government Committee and Vietnam.
