<p>This research explores the origins of the Ambe-ambeken Dance from Singkil Regency, the form of the Ambe-ambeken Dance, and analyzes the ethnomathematics. As a cultural entity, the Singkil people have a dance known as the Ambe-ambeken or Sakhindayong dance. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method to describe the Ambe-ambeken dance based on historical, anthropological and mathematical approaches. Although the variety of movements looks simple at first glance, this dance is a form of technology of enchantment that is full of wisdom and has an essential role in shaping the community's personality and the spread of Islam in Singkil through the poems that are sung during the dance. Then from a different perspective, it was found that there is a mathematical element that many people do not realize in a traditional dance, namely a geometric transformation. This fact leads to a new assumption that culture in the past was built on spirituality and aesthetic values and by applying mathematical principles in various aspects of life.</p><p align="left"> <em>Penelitian ini mengungkap asal-usul Tari Ambe-ambeken dari Kabupaten Singkil, bentuk Tari Ambe-ambeken serta menganalisis etnomatematika pada Tari Ambe-ambeken Sebagai sebuah entitas kultural, masyarakat Singkil memiliki sebuah tarian yang dikenal sebagai tari Ambe-ambeken atau Sakhindayong..
