Menari Indonesian Dance
Based in Perth
About this act
Menari Indonesian Dance is a dancer from Perth, Western Australia.
Traditional dance and live music from across the Indonesian archipelago make up the repertoire of Menari Indonesian Dance, a Perth collective, with material drawn from Java, Kalimantan and Sumatra among other provinces. Costume and movement carry as much of the storytelling as the music itself, and the repertoire reflects traditions from several Indonesian regions. Cultural festivals, community events, corporate functions and educational programs are all part of its regular calendar, alongside private celebrations, and the ensemble aims to share cultural understanding through performance.
