Ape Nang Ditumbok consists of 5 movements: swinging, pounding and winnowing rice, timang burung, nyiur melambai, and the movement showing sadness or happiness. The movements in this dance come from daily activities such as walking, working, movements representing animals and plants, and human expression. The Raddat dance Ape Nang Ditumbok originally functioned as entertainment in an event held in the royal palace Sambas and the wedding of the nobility.
