Joget: An Immersive Journey Through Time

About the Programme

This is a drop-in activity. You may reserve a slot between 10am – 4pm and come any time within your reserved slot.

Step into the world of Joget and immerse yourself in the rhythm and tradition of this popular Malay dance. Through the magic of virtual reality, you will be transported back in time to the days when Joget was performed and enjoyed in kampongs, weddings, and dance halls. You can also take part in an interactive dance experience with the avatars of Norhaizad Adam and Hasyimah Harith from P7:1SMA as they show you the basic moves and invite you to Joget!

This unique VR experience blends historical storytelling with hands-on dance practice, offering a fun and educational way to discover Malay cultural heritage.

About DanceXR 2025: Tradition in Motion

DanceXR returns in March 2025 with a focus on celebrating cultural heritage through dance and technology as we present five new works from Malay, Indian and Chinese traditions in 180-degree and 360-degree virtual reality (VR). The VR works include: Si Tanggang by Sri Warisan, Joget: An Immersive Journey Through Time by P7:1SMA, Kodukotti by Sakthi Fine Arts, and Where the Flowers Bloom by Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre.

Experiencing dance in VR is unlike attending a performance from your seat in the theatre or watching a regular video on the screen.  VR places you at the heart of the action for an up-close and personal experience. In Joget: An Immersive Journey Through Time, you can even learn and practice the traditional Malay dance in VR.

DanceXR is an arts-tech initiative by creative-tech studio Avventura, and is supported by the National Arts Council Singapore.
