{{unreferenced|date=September 2013}}Endang, Indang or Badindin dance is a style of dance in Indonesia and Malaysia that expresses the religious message of Islam. The dance movements are dynamic accompanied with clapping and hand crossing with other dancers which follow the pace of the song. All the words of the song are usually about the history of the prophet Muhammad or advice according to Islam teaching. While dancing, the dancers hold rebana and there is a singer who sings a song. Islamic culture was brought to the Minangkabau areas of West Sumatra, Indonesia and Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia by merchants from Arabia and Persia simultaneously with the coming of Islamic teaching to Indonesia in the 14th century. It was brought later to Malaysia by the Minangkabau people. The dance is done in groups and usually accompanied by singing and playing small ‘rebana’ (Islamic drum).
