Laweut dance, the word 'laweut' comes from shalawat or praise of Prophet Muhammad SAW.This dance comes from district.Pidie, Aceh. used to be this dance is called dance seudati.

This dance, usually danced by 8 women and 1 singer. His poems are sung in the form of Islamic verses or dakwahan.Gerakan in this dance, almost the same as saman dance, the difference they danced standing. If I see this dance looks very quiet. Due to the absence of musical accompaniment.

Still a very traditional impression, the sound generated from the dancers' hands are considered musical accompaniment.But I personally do, thinking if only put rebana musical instruments into the dance, would be more crowded.
