    “New traditional dance” seen during Kaamatan

    July 10th, 2009

    If you go to KDCA Hall on 30th or 31st May every year, you’d see traditional dances of many ethnic groups of Sabah.

    If you look closely enough, you’d even discover “new traditional dances”.

    For example, Butod saw “Breakdance Sumazau” during Kaamatan 2006:

    Apparently the same guy does the same thing every year at the same place.

    Here he is again, 3 years later on 31st May 2009, with another guy in the background:

    Does he look like he’s seasick after going on too many Caribbean cruises?

    And all these were done in full view of foreign tourists.

    Ben,

    I went on the same day too, and the guy was dancing to the tune of “Madu dan Racun” in front of the nescafe booth !!

    dang… can someone shoot that bugger next time… this year, when i arrived at the KDCA, i saw two of them dancing like drunkard at the parking behind the hall… then few hours later i saw the one with the blue shirt at the Rumah Ranau… i have a vide of ‘it’… but he was shoooed by one of the organizer…

    for both video, why cant the organizer whack him… with a gong or something… just look at the crowd… did they come to see that monkey dancing?…

    Can inform the organisers to look out for this guy next time and bar him from entering the premises.

    yes, he is not the most graceful dancers out there. but i think the organizers should be more in control of what’s happening. just let him dance, somewhere else.
