More than 10,000 people broke a record in Indonesia's Aceh on Sunday. They danced to a traditional song which stresses protecting a national park in the area.
The Saman is the country's most popular dance, also named "the dance of a thousand hands."
In 2011, the dance was included in the UN’s list of cultural heritage. Sunday’s performance broke a national record with 10,001 participants, beating last year's record of 6,600.
