It is because I want to share with other about my differencess and the speciality of traditional dance in my nation. “Mak yong” has their own differencess from others because its combine many thing to produce their own identity. Its combine acting, singing, and dance in one story. Its not just an intertaiment but it also give a good moral value to people because of their stories related to our daily life.
