sound of any music. I guess that it is just not in my “gene”. However, I
do think that “dancing” is a “domain” which should be left only for the
people who know how to dance.
Q. Has anyone ever taught you to dance? [Why/Why not?]
Answer:
Nobody has ever taught me how to dance because I was never
really interested in learning it and nobody in my family was a dancer.
Q. Tell me about any traditional dancing in your country.
Answer:
Our country
has a rich culture, because of its multi-cultural and
multi-racial heritage, with its fair share of traditional dance and music.
Malaysia, sometimes referred to as ‘truly Asia”, has at least 15 different
kinds of dances. However, the most popular type is called “Joget” which
is a lively dance with an upbeat tempo. It is usually performed by
couples who
combine fast, graceful movements with playful humour,
and it has its origins in Portuguese folk dance, which
was introduced to
Melaka during the era of the spice trade. Some of the other dances are
also a bit more popular than the others, depending on which part of
Malaysia you live in.
Q. Tell me about some popular dancing in your country?
Answer:
In Malaysia, Chinese Lion Dance is
very popular which is
performed during the Chinese New Year festival. Dragon Dance, another
popular dance type, is typically performed to usher in the Chinese New
Year.
Besides, the Indian Bharata Natyam, a classical Indian dance, is famous
in my country which is poetry in motion based on ancient Indian epics.
Moreover, I can recall "Bhangra" which is
lively folk music and dance
form of the “Sikh” community. Then "Zapin" is a popular dance in
Malaysia that has its root in Islamic tradition finally, "Bamboo Dance" is
a highly popular and entertaining traditional dance in which two long
bamboo poles are held horizontally above the ground at ankle-height
and then they are clapped together to a high-tempo drumbeat.
