Good Evening readers! Today's post is going to be a bit different with the previous post about the 'Wau Bulan'. I decided to share my experience teaching the Koreans how to sing and dance the 'Wau Bulan' in this post. It was an unforgettable experience for the Koreans and myself. :)
On the 15th until 21stJanuary2011, the Faculty of Education UiTM Shah Alam conducted a 'Student Exchange Program' in collaboration with the 'Kyung Hee University' from South Korea. The faculty acted as the host while the Koreans were the participants. There were 24 Korean students and 2 of their professors. I was one of the student committees appointed for the program. I held the responsibility of conducting cultural activities for I have wide e
xperience in traditional dance and Malay culture.
My job was to teach a local traditional dance to the Koreans. I chose the 'Wau Bulan' for it has a catchy and lively melody. Besides, everybody(the committees and UiTM students) know the song. So, they will be able
to sing and dance along to the 'Wau Bulan'. Here, I am going to showyou the progress of the teaching from the start till the end.

Session 1
On the welcoming day, which is Sunday, I got the dancers from Prisma Seni to perform the Wau Bulan for the Koreans.
That was was a short yet sweet introduction to them.
These are the
dancers. They were wearing the One Malaysia costumes.
Some of the Korean students who voluntered
to try the 'Wau Bulan' with the dancers.
These are the reactions we got from the Koreans.
They were excited to see the 'Wau Bulan'.
Session 2
We had the 2nd session after lunch where
it was the turn for the COMMITTEES to demonstrate
the 'Wau Bulan' to the Koreans.
Session 3
After that, we first taught them how to sing the 'Wau Bulan'song. We show the lyrics on the slide and taught them the melody. It took quite a while to teach them the pronunciation. Apart from that, everything was alright.
