The biannual Dance Showcase aims to demonstrate the learning outcomes of practical courses offered to students during the semester, assessed by dance lecturers and instructors throughout the staging of the dance showcase. This showcase also serves as a platform for students to create, manage, and present a stage production as well as to introduce and promote programs offered by the Dance Department of the Cultural Centre, University of Malaya.
The word ‘Joget’ denotes ‘dance’ in the broadest sense but it also refers to a very specific folk dance that is believed to have been developed through syncretic processes that had involved Portuguese and Malay influences. it is widely speculated that Joget was first danced by the Malays of Melaka during the Portuguese period (1511-1641). the Joget is known as Lagu Dua in the Sumatran Ronggeng and was one of the main repertoires of the Malay Ronggeng (Ronggeng Melayu) during its heydays of taxi dancing through syncretisation of an older Tandak, thus hybridising the Joget into a new dance form in sisteenth century Malacca (Mohd Anis Md Nor, 2014).
Both Tandak and Joget are performed to a cycle of song quatrains (pantun) within specific tunes sung as duets between male and female singers. Joining in this repertoire is audience who dances the pedestrain Tandak or the more improvised steps-motives in the Joget. The Joget became more popular when newer songs were composed to enrich the existing repertoires. In Joget Serampang Pantai, the movements are Tandak, Langkah Gentam, Pusar Air Kecil, Kunang-kunang Mabuk, and Terancang; performed with the accompaniment of Lagu Joget Serampang Pantai.
