Abstract

Zapin Melayu Deli Dance is one of the cultural heritages that is rich in aesthetic and religious values. As part of the Malay tradition in Medan City, this dance not only functions as entertainment, but also as a medium that reflects the spiritual and moral values of society. This study aims to explore and analyze aesthetic elements, such as movement, music, and costumes, as well as religious values reflected in the symbolism and philosophy of the dance. The method used is qualitative descriptive with an ethnographic approach, through direct observation, interviews with artists, and literature studies. The results of the study show that Zapin Melayu Deli Dance integrates harmonious art elements with Islamic teachings, such as simplicity, order, and respect for divine values. Thus, Zapin Dance is not only a local cultural identity but also an effective means of preaching. This study is expected to enrich the understanding of the relationship between art and spirituality in the Malay tradition. This study uses the theory of cultural acculturation, namely between Islamic culture and Malay Deli. Then, the data obtained from Malay cultural experts aims to explore the meaning and Islamic values in the Zapin dance.
