FOLK DANCE FORM: Ulek Mayang The ulek mayang is a pre-Islamic religious trance dance accompanied
by singing and music in Terengganu, originating
from an unknown nearby island in which the Malay orchestra, comprising
drums, gong,
violin and accordian is used (Shafiee Ahmad 1992).
It was originally used in healing ceremonies but is now usually performed
for fun. Dancers move in a circle, waving leaves known as mayang pinang,
until they faint in a trance. Sometimes the rebab
and seruling are also used to accompany the singing which is in the form
of rhymes and poems. (Normah Abdul Hamid 1978).
