Come June, local dance organisation MyDance Alliance will present the sixth MyDance Festival, with the theme “Unity in Diversity”. The festival aims to reunite the dance community in Malaysia following the disruption of the pandemic, to enjoy live performances and to celebrate the diversity of local dance culture. The festival will present four different programs across various arts spaces in the Klang Valley, featuring traditional dances from Malay, Indian and East Malaysian cultures, alongside contemporary dance works too. We find out more from Rithaudin Abdul Kadir (Vice President of MyDance Alliance) and Bilqis Hijjas (Secretary, MyDance Alliance).
