Beginner-Friendly Traditional Tarian Zapin Class in Kuala Lumpur
Presented by Gangsapura 

Tarian Zapin (Zapin Dance) is a traditional Malay dance widely performed in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia (especially in Riau and Sumatra). It has strong influences from Arab culture, brought by traders and Islamic missionaries between the 14th and 16th centuries.

It is known for its graceful, disciplined footwork, paired with lively traditional music.

In this 3-hour Tarian Zapin workshop, participants will explore the lively charm of the dance through its signature footwork, graceful hand movements, and simple group formations—all while expressing the spirited and joyful character that defines Zapin.
