Saman Dance (from Aceh) - Indonesian Traditional Dance

UPDATED! (January 2012) Saman Dance is Indonesian traditional dance which came from Aceh, Sumatra. Saman is also well-known abroad as "Thousand Hands". Eight to Twenty dancers kneel in a row on the floor and make different kinds of torso movements accompanied by songs, clapping hands, slapping chests, and slapping hands on the floor. This is a very interesting and unique dance that I really like! Songs used; Opening: Bethena - Scott Joplin Closing: Rescue Me - Madagascar (Soundtrack from Madagascar Escape 2 Africa) PS: to download, just go to www.keepvid.com and copy-paste the link of this video.
