Music & Dance Rehearsal

Traditional dances and sape playing are staple aspects of Kayan festivities and celebrations. Young and old alike participate in the dance rehearsals.

It is common to hear the strumming of the sape and the beating of the gong in the background while longhouse people are working on various preparations.
