Plate Dance

Tari Piring, or also known as the Plate Dance, is a traditional dance from Minangkabau, West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is performed by balancing stacks of plates in both hands and dancing to the rhythm of the music. This dance is believed to have originated from the practice of serving guests during a special occasion where plates were stacked and brought to the table in a dancing manner. The dancer's movements and skills in balancing the plates are part of the attraction of the dance. The Tari Piring is often performed during cultural events or traditional ceremonies in Indonesia.
