Traditional Dances [Tari Laweut]

Laweut dance is a dance that originates from the Pidie district in the province of Aceh. With the development of the times, this dance culture spread throughout the regions in Aceh Province. Laweut dance is often referred to as Inud Seudati Dance, because in terms of the number of dancers, movements, processes, dance patterns, and techniques of this dance are very similar to Seudati Dance.

Both dances were danced by 8 female dancers and 1 music singer (singer) who also led the other dancers' movements. What distinguishes the two dances is the distinctiveness of Seudati Dance using chest pat, while Laweut Dance uses a pat on the thigh and not the chest.
