By day, Le Yen Quyen works as a pharmacist at her local health clinic in Vietnam s Mekong Delta. At night, she dances under the head of a lion on perilously high metal poles, practising her moves ahead of Lunar New Year festivities.
Quyen, 27, was one of the first women to join the Tu Anh Duong lion and dragon dance troupe, where performers mimic the movements of the creatures to bring good luck and dispel evil spirits.
Evening after evening in the southern city of Can Tho, she perfects the stunts she will show off during Tet, the Vietnamese New Year holiday which begins next week.
Tet is Vietnamese New Year, the most important national holiday and the first day of spring.
Often coinciding with Lunar New Year celebrations across the wider region, Tet is a chance to return home and celebrate with family and friends. It s a great opportunity to experience traditional music and games, with dragon dances a particular favourite. Ancient Vietnamese folklore states that people are descendants of dragons, and that the mythical creatures bring rain to support the country s vast agricultural regions. Alongside the visual spectacle, the festival is a noisy one, with firecrackers thrown and gongs banged to scare away mischievous spirits that might bring bad luck.
