Saman dance is usually performed not using musical accompaniment, but using the sounds of the dancers and their applause usually combined with hitting their chest and groin as a synchronization and flung the body in different directions
In general, saman dance is played by dozens or dozens of men, but the number must be odd. Another opinion says the dance is danced by more than 10 people, with details of 8 dancers and 2 people as a giver of cue while singing
At this time, saman dance is not only played by men but also played by women.
