Introduction and history
Ngajat Ngalu Temuai translates to the "Guest Welcoming Dance," performed by both male and female dancers from the Iban ethnic group. Specifically, this dance is held to warmly welcome guests, or temuai in the Iban language. It is commonly performed to invite and escort the tuai rumah (longhouse chief), along with dignitaries and honored guests, into the longhouse.
The movements in this dance are like those in Ngajat Indu, characterized by graceful and refined gestures. Typically, this dance is performed during ceremonial openings or inaugurations of official events and celebrations, particularly during the Gawai Festival.
