The ritual is usually carried out by the local community by bringing several offerings, usually the offerings are brought in the form of food and then the offerings will be placed on a plate while taking steps with regular, synchronous and dynamic movements. However, since the arrival of Arab traders in Indonesia who brought Islam to Indonesia, the local people's belief in this plate dance slowly began to change. Not only the public's belief in this dance, but also the dance concept of the plate dance has also changed.

Usually, at the end of the dance, the
dancer will slam the plate on the floor until it breaks and scatters, then the dancer will continue to dance on the broken plate. It is said that these plates have been given a prayer so as not to hurt the feet of the dancers. A dance without music seems like something is missing, so that it is more lively. The Plate Dance is accompanied by typical musical instruments from West Sumatra, namely Saluang and Talempong. The combination of the typical music of West Sumatra with the agile movements of the dancers makes the plate dance even more amazing.
