Four smiling girls stand together indoors, wearing dark tops and bright yellow aprons or skirts. Posing closely in front of a wall with guitars, they bring Suara dancing energy to this vibrant gallery scene.

Year 6 students have been learning traditional Indonesian dances.

Artistic director Alfira and choreographer Murtala of Suara Indonesia Dance taught students an energetic mix of dance, body percussion and song.

They taught students several steps before having them wear their own galembong pants, which are used to create rhythmical patterns.

Students were excited to try on the galembong pants and were amazed by the drum-like noises they could create.
