Our final presentation night
is always a little bit of recital, a little bit of party, a lot of friends, and a lot of improvisation. The shadow puppetry students present their original wayang kulit, accompanied by their teachers. The students who have been studying dance are costumed and made up by their teachers in traditional fashion.
This year Kajsa and Terri showed a traditional womens’ welcome dance, a pendet, and were joined by Tom for the gopala, a more recent dance based on the movements of rice planting and harvesting.
After it's all over, everyone dances salsa...
