A “new creation” dance to be performed at the Independence Day celebrations today using laptops as a prop was changed after a backlash on social media. The laptop which was used in place of the winnowing fan (kulla) which is used in the traditional dance drew more ridicule when photographs of the “laptop dance” appeared in newspapers and were widely circulated on social media.
An Education Ministry official said that the dance will be performed at celebrations but minus the laptops.
The cultural pageant for this year’s celebrations will consist of 550 dancers, musicians and drummers.
