This dance is characterized by the movement of opening both hands, such as spreading wings, and is usually performed to welcome distinguished guests in traditional ceremonies.

Kebaghl is the oldest traditional dance that is very popular in the Besemah area since ancient times.

[1] The word kebagh comes from the Besemah language, which means to spread wings, while semban bidodari refers to the large scarf worn by dancers.

Kebagh dance is held at the time of welcoming the great guest/guest of honor at an official event or a wedding reception ceremony.

This dance has existed since the Dutch colonial era which has entered Pagar Alam.
