 instruments, but using the voices of the dancers and their applause which is usually combined with hitting their chest and groin as synchronisation and throwing the body in various directions. In their performance, Saman dancers are guided by a leader commonly called the Sheikh. Saman dancers and Sheikhs must be able to work well together to create harmonious and compact movements. Saman dance uses the Gayo language which is sung directly by the dancers. Usually the one who sings this song is a dancer who is in the centre. Saman dance is performed in groups of at least seven people. It can also be up to tens or even hundreds of people, as long as the number is odd.


 SAMAAN DANCE MOVEMENTS

  Saman dance has several elements of movement, namely hand clapping and chest clapping. This movement is in the form of shaking, kirep, lingang, and surang-surang. Other movements of this dance include two rows of dancers singing while clapping and other dancers harmonising the movements. In addition, there are also dominant hand movements. There are various kinds of hand movements, such as cilok (light movements of the fingertips), cerkop (both hands together and in the same direction), and tepok (clapping movements in various positions).

   Every Saman dance movement has a deep meaning and philosophy. Initially, Sheikh Saman created this dance movement as a means of dhikr to Allah SWT. This can be seen in the rules of motion and body attitudes that accompany the movements. Saman dance is also often used as a medium for delivering messages (dakwah). This dance reflects education, religion, manners, and heroism. This can be seen from the songs and poems in Saman dance which contain da'wah values and advice. In addition, every movement of Saman dance also has a certain meaning. 

  This movement can be seen when the dancers have to sit in a straight line to the side while marching. This is then a symbol of humans as social creatures. Meanwhile, in the movement itself, there is also a symbol as a tribute to the prophet Muhammad SAW. The sitting pattern used is the foot resting, like sitting between two prostrations. In this case, Saman dance symbolises Muslims who are praying.
