The KESUMA & UMa Dance Showcase 2025/2026 Semester 1 is presented by the Dance Department to celebrate the culture and creativity, and a platform for students to present the repertoires, choreographies, and classwork they have developed throughout the semester. This will be two unique nights of different dances presented.

The KESUMA performances begin by honouring tradition through a special collaboration with MAWARKU, featuring their well-loved repertoires such as Kuda Kepang and Kerincing Masri. The KESUMA also includes Malay classical dance such as Asyik, along with folk favourites Inang Selayang Pandang and Inang Kenangan Bersama. Together, these works illuminate the grace, charm, and historical depth of Malay dance heritage. This year also brings the exciting return of our Chinese dance, Indian dance, and Ajat Menua Pakan, adding fresh energy to the KESUMA stage.

The UMa performances features nine choreographic works performed by undergraduate, postgraduate students and distinguished alumni. This year’s pieces incorporate strong traditional influences, offering a fresh approach to creative works. Other highlights include the restaging of Nanchang Leka Timang, an award-winning Iban contemporary dance piece from Citra Tari Nusantara 2025, paired with a spirited Jazz performance by Jazz Technique’s Class students that offers lively contrast into the evening.

Come for the dance, stay for the magic!
