The word seudati comes from the Arabic shahada or shahadatain, which means testimony or recognition. Seudati began to be developed since Islam entered into Aceh. Islamic advocates use this dance as a medium of propaganda to develop the teachings of Islam. This dance is delivered by telling the various kinds of problems that occur so that people know how to solve a problem together.
This type of dance does not use a musical instrument, but it only carries some movements, such as clapping hands to the chest and hips, pounding feet to the ground and finger strumming. The movement follows the rhythm and tempo of the song being sung. Some of the movements are quite dynamic and lively with vigor. However, there are some movements that seem stiff, but actually show the courage and courage of the dancers. In addition, clapping hands to the chest and belly impressed the arrogance as well as the knight.
