Joget 1Malaysia Melaka
Joget is a traditional Malay dance that originated in Melaka. It involves a very upbeat song and some fancy footwork, usually performed in pairs. One of the most popular type of Joget is called ‘Joget Lambak’ which is usually performed by a large crowd together in social functions. Imagine line-dancing, Malaysian style! Though uncommon now, the Joget is still performed at some functions such as weddings and cultural festivals.
