Fedrick Mujang Labani is a graduate student of Diploma in Dance and a candidate of the Bachelor Degree of Performing Arts (Dance) with Honors from the Sultan Idris Education University, Tanjung
Malim. His dance journey began in primary school, and subsequently at his secondary school (SeSSMS)
where he was also involved in many dance activities.
During his time studying in the Faculty of Music in Performing Arts, he has been involved in various productions and worked with many scholars and choreographers such as Prof. Dr. Md Anis Md Nor, Fauzi Amiruddin, and many others. Besides performing, he is also proactively teaching, conducting dance workshops, and choreographed dances in Kuala Lumpur and Tanjung Malim. His traditional Ngajat Iban choreography, “Ngajat Nanga Jela” for MY Dance Festival ‘23 at PJPAC won best choreography. Fedrick believes that “When we dance, our main purpose should not be about getting to a certain place on the floor. It is to enjoy each step along the way”.

Nur Yasmin Zulaikha has been actively involved in performing art as a dancer since primary school. She is a graduate student of Diploma in Dance and a candidate of the Bachelor Degree of Performing Art (Dance) with Honors from the Sultan Idris Education University, Tanjung Malim.
