Learn to Dance ‘Indonesian Warrior’
10th November 2008
Learn an Indonesian Warrior Dance sequence.
This video was originally made for elementary school students. Please, no rude comments about how “inelegant” or “inauthentically Javanese” this looks.
The dance sequence was taught by a theater arts professor at a U.S. university who has lived in Indonesia for several years.
Yes, we goofed up the number of islands that compose Indonesia. We did this in one take, so please be forgiving.
Duration : 0:7:6

It takes your quads a while to get used this stance, but after a while you get used to using those muscles! Glad you liked it.
