Let me ask you a question...

Why do we need dances anyway?

Natural & Primal Instinct Adalah natural bagi kita untuk merasakan kesukaan, ketertarikan terhadap hal – hal yang aesthetically pleasing.

Inter national or even Substantial Language Seni hadir sebagai suatu bentuk yang sama, sesuatu yang menyatukan disebabkan oleh kesamaan cara mengerti dari manusia.

As something that we have in common, It unite human as a being. it makes us complete human beings.

Human Body as A Medium The Closest to Us The Easiest to Relate To Everyone Could be The Arstist

Tari melibatkan waktu menjadi salah satu mediumnya, berarti suatu karya tarian tidak dapat dihadirkan selamanya, akan ada masa dimana dia tiada, dimana dia hanya sekedar memori. Namun, dengan menyertakan waktu pula, informasi yang ingin di komunikasikan menjadi begitu jelas dan memili lebih banyak peluang.

Tari melibatkan badan manusia, berbeda dengan pelukis yang harus memiliki kanvas, cat dan kuas. Seorang penari dapat membuat karyanya dimanapun dan kapanpun karna menggunakan badannya sendiri. Dengan menggunakan badan pula, para penikmat tari dapat berhubungan secara lebih dekat dengan pemahaman yang lebih dekat pula.

As a form of communication, dance communicate the best.
