Marzanna Poplawska -- dancer
This is a female dance in the style of Yogyakarta, one of the court cities of
central Java. It shows a young girl who is beautifying herself: applying
make-up, adjusting her dress, combing hair, and putting on jewelry. Very
elegant, graceful, smooth, and flowing movements constitute the essence of
Javanese femininity.
