Malay dance fills the Esplanade's Outdoor Theatre for a free, non-competitive afternoon of school and newer dance groups. Sun 15 Nov, 2.30pm.
Mari Menari is a showcase segment built entirely around Malay dance, staged at the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre as part of Esplanade's Pentas series. Nothing here is scored or ranked — the segment is non-competitive — and the line-up leans on schools and newer dance groups rather than established companies. Dancers from the participating groups can be of any age and any skill level, which is exactly the spirit the segment is going for: community involvement and the plain enjoyment of dance.
It runs Sunday 15 Nov 2026, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, three hours of programme in Malay performed by Singapore groups, and admission is free. The Outdoor Theatre sits at 1 Esplanade Drive, so you can drift in for a set or settle in for the full afternoon.
