 Department of Culture - Myanmar Theatrical
Association, These are just a few of the Myanmar dance
companies, Burmese dance schools, dancing organizations and dance wear suppliers
that that can be found in our comprehensive Directory of Myanmar
Dance
Companies. Some countries still use the well known name Burma for this
country so maybe we should be referring to Burma Dance Schools or even
Burmese dancing organizations. Whatever I can assure you that Burma and
Myanmar are one and the same country.
Traditional Burmese Dance
While many of the elements found in the music
and dance traditions of Burma find earlier counterparts in ancient India,
Burmese music and dance styles also show clear parallels to traditions in
other parts of South East Asia. Ancient India fostered and developed a
concept of music based on a combination of several different types of
instruments played together in an ensemble. While India chose to develop its
music with an emphasis on the soloist (vocal and instrumental) accompanied
by a drummer, those cultures of South East Asia which had formal contact
with ancient India retained the ensemble idea. Within this large ensemble
context each area of culture developed its own style and form, adapting the
music and dance to local tastes and incorporating increasingly large numbers
of new works and forms which further delineated the national style.
Burmese music and dance can thus be thought of as a distinctly Burmese
development which arose out of the South East Asian setting of an ancient
Indian culture. Compared with the musical style of neighboring cultures,
Burmese music and dance are lively yet graceful, frequently relying on
sudden contrasts and touches of whimsey. Burmese dance, like its
counterparts in other Asian cultures, is depicted as a stylization of the
motions and postures of everyday life. These movements are strung together
in slowly executed turns interspersed with rapid movements and leaps. The
head, arms, and upper torso are employed more consistently than the lower
limbs except in those styles which incorporate the kicking away of dancer’s
train or the execution of leaps.

Department of Culture -
Myanmar Theatrical Association
In its endeavours to ensure the flourishing of Myanmar fine arts
and the performing arts, the Department of Culture runs the
schools of fine arts and the performing arts in Yangon and
Mandalay. Moreover, in order to see that Myanmar theatrical art
does not wane, the department organizes the State orchestral
troupe and dance and drama troupes and presents both at home and
abroad traditional dances and drama performances.
With a view to enhancing bilateral relations and acquainting the
world of Myanmar culture and the arts, Myanmar cultural
delegations have performed in neighboring countries and those in
the west and has received similar delegations in reciprocation.
Myanmar cultural dances and those from abroad are performed at
the National Theatre and the Padonma Theatre in Yangon.
Similarly, a modern National Theatre built in Mandalay has been
completed.
To ensure flourishing of Myanmar culture and performing arts and
to nurture world-class artists, the University of Culture was
opened in Dagon (South) section of Yangon on 24 September 1993.
It provides a four-year degree course in art, sculpture, music
and theatrical performance. A host of 173 graduates received
their degrees at the first convocation on 30 October 1997 and
the fifth convocation was held on September 2001. The University
of Culture (Mandalay) was opened in November 2001 and attended
by 194 students.
