Pasambahan dance is a Minangkabau traditional dance that has developed in various regions in the province of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Pasambahan dance is usually performed as a ceremonial welcoming dance to honor the guests and elders to a traditional ceremony. However, in nowadays, this dance is performed not only in ceremonial welcoming events, but also as performance art at public.[1]
Pasambahan dance is performed in some cases—that are when the guests come from afar or when the groom arrives at the bride's house.[2] [3]
