Spectacular performance of traditional Aceh dances

I got an invitation to attend the Festival. I was asked to be my host. There are activities that will be filled in the activities of this Festival, such as competitions, education, and also enlivened with entertainment programs. This event was held for three days. On this third day, the activity was also enlivened by an art performance.

Today I got a quite extraordinary reception by choosing one of these dance groups. This activity can be a place for everyone to present their talents and abilities in the arts. These dancers performed traditional Acehnese dances. Wear traditional clothes.

This dance is performed by a number of female dancers. This dance is called by the name "Likok Pulo". As is known, traditional Acehnese art is generally known as a form of culture rooted in the ancestral and religious values ​​of its people. Likok Pulo Dance dancers sit elongated in an intermittent position with upper laps and are equipped with a bamboo-sized index finger.

Basically this dance can also be used as a da'wah communication media, Likok Pulo dance intrinsically keeps a lot of symbolic, one of which becomes a strategic publication in the making of the identity and character of the community. The symbols of the organized cultural system of society are contained in the movements, accompaniment, costumes, property, floor patterns and non-dramatic features.

Every movement is usually given advice given through poetry by the main dancer who is usually called the Sheikh. This dance also translates beating rapa'i (music) to tempo (metronome) dance. Read more about the dance "Likok Pulo" here!.

This video is my personal documentation. I really appreciate everyone who has taken their time to continue to empower people who have potential. This is a very spectacular program to give birth to people who are creative, innovative, and productive. I also thank the committee for inviting me to this great activity.
