Seudati Dance

Dance Seudati is the name of the dance which originated from the province of Aceh. Seudati comes from the Creed, which means witness / testify / recognition of no god but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad the messenger of God.

This dance also includes categories of Tribal War Dance or Dance War, in which the words are always inspiring young people of Aceh to rise up and fight the occupation. Therefore, this dance was banned in the Dutch colonial era, but now this dance is allowed to return and become the National Arts of Indonesia.
