Malay Dance

Direct School Admission 2025 (MALAY DANCE)

Our Story

For our Questari dancers, dance has always been their passion, and the co-curricular activity offers our dancers the opportunity to embark on an enriching and fantastic journey, exploring the wide array of traditional Malay dance genres. These dance genres include Joget, Zapin, Asli, Inang and Masri. Each dance form depicts the many aspects of the Malay culture and traditions.

Our dedicated coach choreographs delicate, enchanting and energetic dance movements to create a traditional dance form that allows our dancers to move gracefully on stage. Our dances also incorporate the creative use of the kompang (hand-held drum), tepak sireh (ornate betel leaf container), terendak (decorative conical hat), umbrella, sarong and other Malay ceremonial mainstays as dance props, adding to the beauty and enchantment of our dance form.

Our dancers demonstrate resilience and excellence through their dedication to perfect their dance movements. Our dancers have built a strong sense of belonging, teamwork and respect for each other. They always perform to their best ability and as part of our character development, we serve the community and perform at communal events, enacting our school motto, Berani Berkhidmat (Dare to Serve).
