Zapin (Jawi: زافين) is of the most popular dance and musical forms in traditional Malay performing arts. Elegant dance movements are choreographed to the lively melodies, which are performed using musical instruments such as the gambus (short-necked lute), accordion and rebana.[8] It is believed to have been introduced by Persians and Arabs Muslim missionaries from the Middle East to Malay Archipelago around the fourteenth century where back then only males were allowed to perform; nowadays, female dancers are included. It used to be performed exclusively for religious ceremonies but through the years it has become a form of traditional entertainment, hence the participation of female dancers is allowed.

Instruments

The dancers usually perform in pairs and are accompanied by musicians playing the Accordion, Violin, Gambus, Gendang, Marwas/Marawis, and Rebana.

Distributions

Presently, zapin remains an integral part of the regional Malay performing arts scene, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore.[9] In Malaysia, Zapin is mostly associated with the Malaysian southern state of Johor. [10][11]. In Indonesia, Zapin is mostly associated and classified as part of Malay cultures especially in terms of traditional dances and traditions in Malay-populated areas such as Sumatra (Riau, Jambi, West Sumatra, North Sumatra, South Sumatra), Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung Islands, and Kalimantan (West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan).[12][13][14][15][16][17]. It was also introduced to Singapore in 1937 and Brunei.[citation needed]
