Zapin (Jawi: زافين) is a dance form that is popular in Malaysia(especially in the state ofJohor) and inIndonesia, especially in Malay-populated provinces in Sumatera (Riau Province, Jambi Province, Riau Island Province,North Sumatera , andBangka-Belitung Island) and West Kalimantan. It is believed to have been introduced by Arab,Muslim missionaries from the Middle East in the fourteenth century.In the old days, 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.
The dancers usually perform in pairs and are accompanied by a traditional music ensemble which normally consists of the gambus,accordion,rebab,marwas (bongos), rebana (drum) and dok.There are numerous types of zapin, and each type varies by the movement and style of dance.For example Zapin Melayu Johor,Zapin Pulau,Zapin Tenglu,Zapin Tenglu 2,Zapin Lenga,Zapin Pekajang and Zapin Arab
