There are high expectations for a street dance variety TV show recently released in Vietnam that was produced by a Chinese team.

Adapted from China's 2018 online hit TV show Street Dance, Street Dance Việt Nam is being seen as a step for the Chinese entertainment industry toward creating the country's own TV intellectual property. 

With a similar competitive model to the original version, the Vietnamese street dance show has inherited the essence of the Chinese online show produced by video platform Youku. 

The production team provided detailed guidance including visual design and choreography. According to staff from Youku, the production can help "Chinese original IP to take root overseas." 

In May 2021, Youku began cooperation with a production company in Vietnam for the show, and nearly a year later the newly produced Street Dance Việt Nam has been released both on television and online platform YouTube.

Street Dance is a Chinese variety show and also a typical example of exotic cultural symbols imported from the West.

As a successful original show in China, Street Dance has brought together many famous and talented dancers from different countries, which set off a wave throughout Asia.

"Chinese dramas and TV shows are getting popular with audiences in countries in the Middle East and Africa. We're making efforts to show audiences a more vivid China," said Zhang Lina, vice president of Youku.
