The Saucer Dance or Tari Piring is a Minangkabau tradition that pays homage to Dewi Sri (the rice goddess) and expresses gratitude for an abundant harvest. Some of the movements in the dance symbolize the farmers' daily activities like tilling the land, weeding and harvesting.
Performed at International Day, 13 Nov. 2010 at Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado, USA, Maria Patricia Alexandra, a very talented freshman student from Indonesia, did a very great job!
Enjoy!
Great Performance ;D
