The one that caught my eyes

I used to work with Pahang's State Museum Board as a personal assistant.There I have the opportunity to watch a lot of traditional dance show and this one particular dance really caught my attention,The Endang Dance.

This particular dance was influence by Sumatra and practice by the Minangs community in Negeri Sembilan.The unic dance movements symbolize people plucking leave and wiping sweats.

The dance famously known song is Din Din Barindin.The song starts slowly but increased its tempo,this is when you see the movements getting more and more energetic as the movements follow the tempo.
I really enjoy watching this dance as it is really different and the dancers lookvery beautiful with the costumes and the movements.Though I think they must be having a lot of pain sitting in their position for quite along time.
