The Sumayau Workshop and Competition, hosted by Persatuan Mahsiswa Sabah (PERMAS), was an immersive cultural extravaganza that left an indelible mark on my experience as both a committee member and a passionate participant. As a committee member, I had the privilege of contributing to the planning and execution of this vibrant event, working alongside dedicated individuals who shared a common goal – to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Sabah through the traditional dance form of Sumayau.
The workshop provided a platform for participants like me to delve into the intricacies of Sumayau, learning its nuanced movements and understanding the historical and cultural significance behind each step. It was a journey of discovery, as seasoned instructors guided us through the graceful motions and rhythmic beats that define this traditional dance.
