Supported by Tourism Malaysia, the tour began with a deep dive into Malaysia\u2019s heritage as the Red Dancers first visited the iconic Batu Caves, taking in the vibrant atmosphere of one of the nation\u2019s most celebrated cultural landmarks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Following this, Majid, Waackxxxy, Poppin\u2019 C, and The D Soraki were joined by Rosnan bin Abdul Rahman<\/strong>, Deputy Director General (Policy & Planning) of the National Department for Culture and Arts, to learn the intricate movements and storytelling of traditional Mak Yong. This exchange bridged the gap between ancient performance arts and the modern language of the streets, highlighting a dance culture that is both unique and globally resonant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Champion, Waackxxxy, added: \u201cLearning the Mak Yongwas one of the highlights of this tour. The movements were so beautiful. It gave me a new perspective on Malaysian culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following this immersion, Majid and Poppin\u2019 C led intensive workshops to arm Malaysian dancers with the technical skills and insights needed for the global stage. This energy culminated in a high-octane showcase in Bukit Bintang, where the All-Stars and the local community joined forces to celebrate the vibrant future of Malaysian street dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is my first time in Malaysia, and I\u2019ve been surprised by the level of skill here,\u201d said Majid after the workshop. \u201cThere are some really solid dancers in this scene who have a lot of potential. My advice to the dancers here is to just stay consistent, be yourself, and keep that hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also during their visit to Malaysia, the global dancers crowned Lim Yeow Hwee (Marcus)<\/strong>, 26, from Johor Bahru, and Kayllash Thiagarajan<\/strong>, 19, from Kuala Lumpur, as the hometown heroes, who will go on to represent the country at the first-ever Red Bull Dance Your Style Regional Finals in Singapore this April 25. The duo will go up against the top dancers from Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, and Singapore to secure their ticket to the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final in Zurich, Switzerland, this October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt feels like a huge honor to represent Malaysia at the first-ever Southeast Asia Regional Finals,\u201d said Marcus. \u201cI do feel some pressure because I\u2019m representing the entire Malaysian dance scene, but I\u2019m mostly excited to share my style. Our dance culture is special because of our mix of influences\u2014there is so much individuality and passion here, and I really want the world to see that side of Malaysia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo Credit: Will Hsu \/ Red Bull Content Pool<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For Kayllash, this achievement marks a massive personal and professional milestone. \u201cI feel honored and grateful for the opportunity. Since it\u2019s my first time joining Red Bull Dance Your Style<\/em>, this is a completely new experience for me,\u201d he shared. \u201cI think this shows that the Malaysian dance scene has come a long way and we are finally getting the recognition we deserve. For my preparation, I\u2019m just staying true to myself and being as honest as possible through my dance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond their personal victories, Marcus and Kayllash advancing to the Red Bull Dance Your Style Regional Finals is undeniable proof that Malaysia’s street dance community is ready to stand alongside the world\u2019s best, bringing its own unique flavor and energy to the international spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Support Marcus and Kayllash as they head to Singapore for the Red Bull Dance Your Style Regional Finals this April 25 at the *SCAPE Ground Theatre.
