Dancing her way through ngajat


Mas Noraina (centre) leads a ngajat dance practice at Ngasi, demonstrating graceful movements with fellow dancers. — MAS NORAINA ROSELAN

MAS Noraina Roselan, 35, was born and raised in Kuching – a city known for its rich blend of Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu and Malay cultures.

Growing up in such a heterogenous cultural environment inspired the civil engineer to explore the different aspects of local heritage, and one that caught her interest was ngajat, the traditional dance of the Iban community.
