The biannual Dance Showcase aims to demonstrate the learning outcomes of practical courses offered to students during the semester, assessed by dance lecturers and instructors throughout the staging of the dance showcase. This showcase also serves as a platform for students to create, manage, and present a stage production as well as to introduce and promote programs offered by the Dance Department of the Cultural Centre, University of Malaya.
Zapin Pulau, which originates from Mersing, was introduced to a wider audience by Yayasan Warisan Johor in 1996. One of the special characteristics of this Zapin is the strong movement of the male dancer who displays his strength through the vertical upright position of the torso. This dance symbolizes the lives of fishermen who are often on turbulent boats. Othman Bin Mat Hussin is currently the only practioner of this Zapin form, who actively teaches and performs Zapin Pulau. He is the founder of Kumpulan Zapin Warisan Pulau Mersing.
The important movement motifs of Zapin Pulau are such as langkah Lurus, langkah Serong, Langkah Empat, Langkah Berulang or langkah Tak jadi, Langkah Dolmat, Langkah Udang, Langkah Basrah and Langkah Johor.
