Performing arts is one of the creative forms of culture expressions that had been classified under the intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.

Sustaining the continuity and integrity of cultural identity through folk dance would provide a local sense of unity and belonging, thus the transmission of intangible cultural heritage through digital technology is imperative as to ensure its wider recognition and dissemination. This paper is a part of research in laying foundation for digitising Malay folk dances comprises of movements, music and costumes. It focuses on the role of digital technology on enhancing cultural experience by exploring principal components with regards to their similarities and differences.
