Saman Dance is a dance from Gayo tribe, Aceh which was developed in the 14th century by a great scholar named Sheikh Saman. This dance is a folk game called Pok Ane. The Islamic culture that entered the Gayo area at that time acculturated with Pok Ane game, so the singing of Pok Ane's complementary game is just a complement, turning into a meaningful singing and praise to Allah. The Islamic culture also changed some movements in saman dance from grappling and seating changes. Saman dance in the Sultanate of Aceh only appeared in the celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday in surau-surau or mosque in Gayo area, but in its development he was also later played at public events such as birthday, wedding, circumcision, Since 24 November 2011, saman dance has been designated as one of Indonesia's Unique Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in the sixth session of the Intergovernmental Committee held in Bali. This dance in English known as "Dance of Thousand Hand" is still preserved today, not only by the tribe of Aceh Gayo, sailors also by all the people of the world who admire its uniqueness.
