Tari Saman(Saman Dance)
Saman is the traditional dynamic religious performance art of the Gayo people in Gayo Lues and surrounding districts in Aceh province. The performers, always an odd number, sit on their heels and kneel in tight lines. They are led by a trainer or penangkat in the middle, flanked by two players on each side called pengapit and penyepit. The people at the ends of the line are called penupang. Saman movements symbolize the environment, nature and everyday life, e.g. leaves swaying in the wind, a buffalo bathing, digging in a rice paddy, pounding rice, etc. The verses and movements go on continuously in an ever-increasing tempo without a break until the performance ends. The Saman is also an important binding cultural mechanism among different communities and it is performed on many occasions.

Saman Dance: A Thousand-Hand Dance
Saman is a traditional dance of the Gayo people, which can be traced back to the fourteenth century. The dance is performed in a religious space called mersah with an odd number of male dancers sitting in neat lines who dance to verses and fall into a trance-like state as the tempo quickens. This dance, which incorporates thousands of hands, shows the Gayo tribe's sense of solidarity and ancestral wisdom toward life. Saman has maintained its value as a source of vitality for the community in accepting innovation and change with flexibility, while simultaneously preserving the identify of the Gayo.

Indonesia - Rampai Aceh
Rampai Aceh is a reconstruction of Saman, a traditional performance art of the Gayo tribe of Aceh, Sumatra. The Saman dance which can be traced back to the 13th Century, is a group dance performed by over 10 dancers, who kneel in a row and perform the identical moves in a highly coordinated manner. They clap, slap their chests, thighs, or the floor with their palms, bounce their fingers off each other, gesture with their hands, shaking and twisting their heads from side to side to complex rhythms. The moves express scenes from nature and the daily lives of the Gayo tribe, such as leaves flying in the wind, water buffalo bathing, and ploughing the field. The leaders of the performance are called “Penankat”, who sing poetic verses. They are accompanied by drums, rabana and dynamic clapping. The poetic verses sing about a wide range of themes including tradition and development, religion, heroic tales, morals from daily life and love stories, told with wit and satire. Saman represents the communal values of patience, cooperation and helping each other. Saman, which is enjoyed by people of all walks of life, is performed widely at a variety of occasions, including national holidays such Independence Day, religious occasions, welcoming ceremony for honored guests and weddings. However, with rapid urbanization, youth have been leaving for the city, creating problems for the transmission of Saman for the Penankat who are unable to find suitable successors.
