Saman dance is one of the media to achieve message (da'wah). This dance reflects the educational, religious, manners, heroism, teamwork and togetherness.

 

Song of the dancers add to the dynamics of saman dance. How to sing songs in saman dance is divided into 5 types:

1. Rengum, the roar that begins by lifter.
2. Dering, namely Rengum which was quickly followed by all dancers.
3. Redet, namely short songs with short sound sung by a dancer at the center of the dance.
