Direct Swap # 6

Sometimes when I have free time, I look for people that I can swap with. Zwesty from Indonesia was looking for traditional dances of different countries so I asked her to look at my swap album. She chose a postcard of singkil with vintas on the background.  On the other hand, this is what I got in return:

Zwesty said that this is a dance from West Java called Tari Merak or Peacock Dance.  The wings in the costume of the dancers are the feathers of the peacock.  They also have peacock head gears.

I love learning about culture through swapping postcards with others. I hope to learn more in the future.
