During the festival, the groups stayed in Debowiec Hotel, in Bielsko Biola.

They had a chance to met and gift exchange with the mayor. They also met the director of the festival.  between their busy day with all the performance, to refreshing they went on tour to see the city of Krakow. 

 

Not to forget about the competition, the concept they used for the competition was a medley dance. First, they used a storyline from a Bali dance, called Kecak Dance, which tell a story of a girl named Sinta is gone missing. Then, they also used Saman Dance from Aceh. So it was a medley of Bali and Saman dance. But unfortunately, they did not win.

The audience during all the festival constantly had a long applause for the Indonesia group. Once, on their last performance in Szczyrk, the audience seemed to like Saman Dance, because they requested the group to perform Saman Dance again.
