Len Dong dance also called Hau Dong dance is a sort of dance of those who practice Len dong rituals with the aim to sublimate, to incarnate into the role of a character(god) whom they play.

The Len Dong person wears clothes symbolizing the god who incarnates into him/her by praying and kowtowing, and then showing movements concerning them. Generally through the clothes, one understands at once who that god is among the gods of the four-palace religion in the Vietnamese.

This dance is popular in most areas where Vietnamese live. It characterises the type of religious dance of the Vietnamese.
