The Tarian Lilin or candle dance is a graceful maiden's dance. It has its origin in the story of a maiden who lost her engagement ring and searched for it till the wee hours of the morning with the help of a candle placed on a plate.
The candle dance is one of Malaysia's most breathtakingly beautiful performance arts.
Candles on small plates are held in each hand as the dancer performs. As the performer's body describes graceful curves and arcs, the delicate candle flames become hypnotic traces.
