Lao traditional dance movement

        Another unique thing about Laos is our typical traditional dance. Lao people called “Fon”.

It simply requires the dancers to move their arms, legs and hands in circular motion. “Fon Lam Vong”

is another specific type of Lao traditional dance. “Fon Lam Vong” has movements similar to “Fon”

but it is more detailed. All dancers have to dance in a circle, that’s why Lao people call it “Lam Vong”.

“Vong” in Lao mean circle. “Lam Vong” is normally enjoyed at parties, family gatherings, celebrations,

and ceremonies. I already talked a little bit about Sinh, which is our traditional garment for women.

The traditional Lao garment for men is Salong. As you can see, in the pictures, people will wear

these garments when they have a performance or when they have a special ceremony.

              

      In most special ceremonies, Lao women will usually wear the Lao skirt “Sinh”,  and the silk

shirt too. They also wear a beautiful patterned shawl and have their hair in a bun with a luxury

decoration that is very detailed. Nowadays, it has become more normal for Lao women to wear sinh

in their daily life.
