Dancing in Jogja/Godean


While in Jogja and Godean (small village outside of Jogja) we learn a traditional Javanese dance. 

This involved 3 poorly orchestrated dance lessons, waaaaay too much makeup and Asian warrior outfits.

Above, Bu Ari and some experienced dancers.


After 3 one hour lessons and about the same amount of time devoted to costume and makeup we performed this dance at the goodbye celebration for our Javanese families. 



The dance involved pom pons and lots of small steps and laughing as we stumbled the wrong way.


Once the humiliation was over it was a good experience, plus who doesn't like to play dress up?
