This social dancing was firstly played by eight (delapan) people by using 8 ropes of wick stove, the rope was tied and hung on the roof. Hence, the name of Selampit Delapan (eight) was based on 8 ropes as the main property. In times, the wick stove was changed by using scarf in order to make the dance more interesting and cheerful.
