Diners at the Pantai Restaurant at the Empire Hotel on Friday night were treated to a magnificent performance by a traditional cultural dance troupe of five dancers showing several steps from the ethnic tribes of Sarawak.

The performances included the Iban Ngajat displaying the strength of the Iban warriors who gracefully dances to the rhythms of the gongs.

A Bidayuh dance, "Rejang Be'uh," is a dance usually performed after the harvest season as a form of entertainment for guests at the longhouse. This was performed in unison by dancers imitating the movements of eagles flapping their wings in flight.

The Sarawak performance was held in association with The Malaysian High Commission in Brunei, Tourism Malaysia and Sarawak Tourism Board.
