Tari Piring Kubu Durian (Pencak Silat)

..i thought pencak silat is a fighting technique..?

I think its somewhere i between fighting technique and dance, -at least you need musik for it. In Brazil they have capoeira, in Indonesia they have pencak silat.

yes it is. but often it was developed into dance too. to make it more interesting for newbie.

in Canduang, Bukittinggi West Sumatra its called "ole-ole"

does anyone know any source about the history of this dance? i need it for my school project

yes its called: tupuik padi

usually it is made out of banana leaves with a fresh padi

bukan "pupuik sarunai" yah namanya..??apa cuma beda nama karena beda bahasa..??itu daunnya bukan dari daun kelapa..??

eum... nederlands begrijp ik beter :-)

@turdtrousers, I'm not javanese and I'm not Sumateran either, but surely your point of view show us how narrow-minded you are. You don't even realised that Batak dance are nowhere near Islamic culture. You even forgot that not all Javanese dances are graceful. BTW, most Javanese are peasants, and the Arabs mostly are traders. Learn the facts before you're mumbling foolishly. Shame on you.
