From 22/01/2015 to 30/01/2015, the playgrounds of 6 IPS Campuses became lively, playful and colorful during the fancy dress festival 2014-2015.
Every spring, when the earth and all things gradually put on their new energetic suits, IPS students eagerly welcome the fancy dress festival with the theme: All for the peace world.
The fancy dress festival is annually held at IPS in order to close an old year and welcome a new year with lots of prospects to all the students. At this festival, parents and students will enjoy the typical dances and admire the traditional costumes of many different peoples in the world performed by IPS students. This festival conveys a meaningful message which is also the theme of the festival: "All for the peace world".
To prepare for an amazing festival, during one month, all the IPS students did try their best to practice and passionately follow the guidance of their teachers and dancers after studying for hours. Although the time is limited, the students retained their interest and excitement without being tired in order to deliver the best performances to the audience.

In the early morning of the official day, the school yards were bustling in the joyful colorful air.
The stage of the festival was more and more attractive.
The vibrant traditional dances of every country in the world have been shown successfully by the "little non-professional dancers" of the IPS. The audiences immersed in every unique performance, learned about the special culture of many countries in the world such as the Hawaiian dance, Spanish dance, Russian folk dance, Khmer dance and Latin dance.
Let’s look back through some outstanding photos from the festival:

The special point of this year festival was to bring audiences some special plays that showed the distinction between areas of Vietnam and helped them better understand the traditional values; in this way, all the students could enhance their patriotism, preserve and promote the cultural identity of Vietnam.
To demonstrate these plays, the students not only portrayed the characters, wore the traditional customes, searched and set up the proper theatrical features of the Vietnamese villages, but also learnt the voice and dialects of the different areas of Vietnam. This interesting and subtle point is the focus for this year's festival, which received a great response from teachers, parents and students; moreover, it encouraged students to enhance their knowledge of the national culture.
