Jogeton

The very first competition of its kind that will see 200 participants joget at Merdeka Square for 90 minutes straight, continuing until the last person is standing. In the final 15 minutes, judges will evaluate the remaining dancers and award the winner a prize of RM3,000. Throughout the competition, the rakyat is encouraged to join in and joget along to live music at the sides of the contest and of course, free to stop if they feel tired.

A special surprise will take place midway through the contest, as traditional joget music gives way to contemporary popular songs by local Malaysian artists, before returning once more to classic rhythms. By blending traditional dance with modern sounds, the competition presents a fresh vision that encapsulates the event’s theme of Memory and Tomorrow, kicking off the festival with a bang.

Pertandingan pertama seumpamanya ini bakal menyaksikan 200 peserta berjoget tanpa henti selama 90 minit di Dataran Merdeka, berterusan sehingga tinggal peserta terakhir yang masih berdiri. Dalam 15 minit terakhir, para juri akan menilai peserta yang masih bertahan dan seterusnya menobatkan pemenang dengan hadiah wang tunai RM3,000. Sepanjang pertandingan berlangsung, orang ramai turut digalakkan untuk menyertai dan berjoget bersama iringan muzik secara langsung di sekitar kawasan pertandingan; para peserta juga bebas untuk berhenti sekiranya berasa penat.

Satu kejutan istimewa akan berlangsung di pertengahan acara apabila muzik joget tradisional beralih kepada lagu-lagu popular kontemporari oleh artis tempatan Malaysia sebelum kembali semula kepada rentak klasik. Gabungan tarian tradisional dengan sentuhan bunyi moden ini menampilkan sebuah persembahan yang segar, selari dengan tema acara “Memory and Tomorrow”, sekali gus membuka tirai festival dengan penuh semangat dan warna.
