Sesaria also hopes that students in their efforts to make achievements, especially in the field of traditional and modern dance, do not stop here. “There is still a lot of time and opportunity for outstanding students to come back, always working. Through our work, we can participate in efforts to preserve local wisdom and of course bring the good name of UNIPMA,” he added.

The implementation of "PEACE 2022" online is based on considerations because the pandemic is not over yet. With the concept of organizing competitions online, it provides opportunities for dancers to remain creative and achieve during the pandemic.
