Rapai Geleng Dance

"Rapai" is the name of a tambourine used to accompany songs and dances. "Rapa-ii Geleng" is a dance specially developed with this tambourine in mind. The movements are almost the same as in the "Saman" dance, but the 11 to 20 dancers handle one tambourine each, which gives the dance a very distinct and enjoyable flavour. A song with Islamic teachings accompanies the dance.
