They are a group of village children from my hometown who are practicing traditional dance. This activity is one of the local government's efforts to preserve cultural values from an early age.
Seudati we in Aceh call the name of this dance, which is played without the rhythm of a musical instrument. However, it is accompanied by poems that contain moral messages and other sounds that come from the special movements of the dancers themselves, such as stomping their feet, tapping their chests and hips, and snapping their fingers.
Hevian friends wherever you are!
The following is their action during the exercise, which took place in the courtyard of the Lhokseumawe City Museum.
When they simultaneously make a sound with their snapping fingers and deliver the order to change movements.
And, this is another part of producing sound through chest clapping and foot stamping.
