Agung PW: Since what age did you learn Malang mask dance?
Eko Ujang: I started to learn to dance the age of 6 years, but if Istarted to learn dance masks seriously since the age of 16 years when in first class of senior high school. I was too late to learn to dance mask. because I was not initially attracted to dance mask as mask dance group in my village for adults only, no group of children. Initialy I learnt mask dance at Sanggar Asmorobangun located at the village of Pakisaji, Malang Regency, in which the maestro of Mbah Karimun taught there.
