The one I like


If I were to choose a dance which I am interested with, it would definitely be ZAPIN!! Zapin is most popular in Johor, and the steps are quite simple. The dancers can be seen playing with each other, teasing, challenging and enjoying each others company.

What I like the most about this dance is the music being played while the dancers are performing. The music for Zapin comes from an ensemble of traditional instruments which include the lute (gambus), gypsy-type bongos (marwas) and the violin.
This dance is one type that I wish I will have the opportunity to learn and if possible, having the chance to perform it on stage. :)
