Tai Quang Thanh, born in 2006, is currently a first-year student majoring in dance choreography at Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema. In 7th grade, noticing his son's passion, Thanh’s father suggested he try auditioning for the Vietnam Dance Academy. At the Vietnam Dance Academy, Thanh balanced general education with specialized training. While working with the troupe, Thanh developed a desire to be more creative and go deeper into preserving and developing the traditional dance heritage of ethnic minorities through modern artistic language. Previously, at the Vietnam Dance Academy, Thanh had been formally trained in dance drama and ballet.
