What to Expect:
Traditional music and dance performances are an import element to all festivals that take place across the country. In this exclusive experience, visit the traditional dance house of renowned performer Takhine Lone Shwe Aye Aye Myint to learn about the traditional dances which focus on the movement of hands, the head, shoulders, knees, and the pace and placement of those extremities in time with the music. Considered one of the great dancers of the 1980s and 90s, she is also the granddaughter of Sein Baydar, a royal musician and one of the greatest orchestral musicians of all time. Inheriting her grandfather’s passion for musical instruments, Takhine Lone Shwe Aye Aye Myint will also guide you through a music workshop following a private orchestra performance comprising oboes, bamboo xylophone, drums, and gongs. Following your practice, sit down to sample a wide variety of dishes that originate from various regions of Myanmar, authentically created by dance performer’s family.
