Besides these traditional repertoires, some Ca trù clubs have reintroduced the art to its orginal performing spaces at village communal houses, in traditional worshiping spaces.
Government agencies at all levels have provided support to Ca trù clubs to revitalise and transmit Ca trù to community members including: organising transmission classes taught by master artists in Hưng Yên, Hải Dương, Hà Nội, Quảng Bình, Bắc Ninh, Thái Bình, Bắc Giang, Phú Thọ, Vĩnh Phúc…; providing print and audio-visual materials on Ca trù as references for the revitalisation of the Hát Cửa đình (Hải Dương); compiling and choreographing traditional repertoires such as Bài bông and Tứ linh dances (Hà Nội). Besides regular practice and performaces, Ca trù clubs also organise transmission classes to other clubs.
