While staying at AD1 Hotel in Mandalay, there was an event at the market featuring Burmese folk drama. The performance included an opening scene, live music, and traditional Burmese dance with a distinctive jerky style. I was very fascinated as it was my first time watching such a show presented to the Burmese audience at my event. Unfortunately, I didn't stay until late; I returned to rest when the music started. Burmese dance, which includes folk drama similar to Thai traditional theater, can be divided into folk plays and dances, each with unique characteristics.
Burmese dance is influenced by the dance traditions of neighboring countries, especially Thailand, yet it maintains a unique quality distinct from other regional styles, including fast and powerful movements. Watching it, I still wonder where the fast-paced dance evolved from, as Thai dances tend to be slow and calming. mr.Hotsia Travel Excitement, February 2015. Book hotels in Mandalay now.
