Tiny dancer ready to take on world stage

Little boy, giant might: Dion had earlier won the junior dance category at the Malaysia Championships of Performing Arts in Kuala Lumpur with his contemporary ethnic dance inspired by two Bornean birds.

KUCHING: Young Sarawakian dancer Dion Das Louis, who performs as the “Little Bornean Birdie,” is set to show off his talent on the global stage in July.

At only eight years old, Dion is a member of Malaysia’s team participating in the 27th World Championships of Performing Arts in the United States, dubbed the Olympics of the performing arts.
