“Dancing across cultures”

 By Adilah

Rising the beauty of traditional dance, especially Zapin which comes from Malay roots, brings a deep sense of pride. What made it even more special was when we were given the opportunity to become coaches and teach students from Indonesia who came to Malaysia to learn this dance.

I feel truly proud and grateful to be one of the coaches, and also to be the leader of this meaningful activity. It wasn’t just about teaching but it was also about learning. I gained new experiences in language, communication, and most beautifully, made new friends from another country.
