"Tarian Gamelan is a royal dance and was originally performed at palaces during the sultanate of Riau-Lingga and subsequently brought to the Malay land by Sultan Ahmad of Pahang. It was introduced to the state of Terengganu when Tengku Meriam, the daughter of Sultan Ahmad of Pahang married the son of Sultan Zainal Abidin II in Terengganu. During that time, this dance was only meant for the royalty on certain occasion. It was said that Tarian Gamelan has altogether 39 different dances of which part of these were created by Tengku Ampuan Meriam herself based on stories she heard from story tellers. Eight ladies all in colourful silk costume will be accompanied by some musical instruments such as serunai, gambang, saron, bonang, kenong, gendang ibu and gendang anak to perform the story."

Wow…
Gamelan is unique…
It has altogether 39 different dances. I’ve never see Gamelan Dance. I am sure Gamelan would be best to see. But, I’ve heard the Gamelan song from Gamelan Club. I hope Gamelan Club will dance this Gamelan Dance…

assalamulaikum...hai pappy..
I am very proudto be Malaysian because we have different culture and we still together when doing something. actually, i only know about the "Gamelan" and not the dance. I live at Selangor which is the developed state in Malaysia. Not every people know about our tradisional culture espeacialy about the dance. Maybe because lack of reading that's why i did not know. You make me realise that we have to love and protect our culture before it disappeared forever.

Wow this is veryyyyyyyy awesome!! I've tried one of gamelan musical instrument which I can't remember well its name, and warning, it is not for novice! Tarian Gamelan combines both, art and mystical senses. I started to like them since I saw it in Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam movies - am I right? Even it bring some creepy feelings, it is still attractive especially when the dancers is in colorful pretty costume. Mystical and art, pretty combination right?

Askum pappy...
My comment about Tarian Gamelan is quite interesting. But for me, I prefer music instruments of gamelan. The music is very classic and that remind me of "Puntianak Sundai Harum Malam" movie. So scary. Maybe one day I could play the music instruments of gamelan. Wish me okey???

"Tarian Gamelan" the name is unique to describe. Eight ladies all in colourful silk costume is very interesting. Now, i realize that dance comes from palace ceremony of married Sultan Pahang daughters. The music intruments use in the dance are so many types, as a result the dance become so unique. Thank you for the useful information from the article.
