Traditional Dance Show

Hi, Does anyone know  where to go for a good traditional dance show? Sometimes it is called a folkloric dance show.All we know is that sometimes restaurants have them. Our daughter is coming to HCMC for the first time for Christmas and New Years and we would like to give her the most authentic experience. Thanks very much to anyone who can share some information.
