Indonesia has many traditional
dances, every ethnic group has more than
two kinds of dances. Those dances tell the
audience about a ballad or a story
according to the kind or the place of the

ethnic group. The Balinese dances, for
example, “Legong” tells about the love
story of the Lasem king, and “Kecak” tells
about the Hanoman’s and Sugriwo’s
Monkey troops.

Most of audiences usually enjoy for
the beauty, the costume and the
education of the dancer only. They do not
care the message of the dance. Every
action of the dancer, however, expresses
a guidance, it guides us how to do the
best attitude and behavior in our lives. We
sometimes neglect it for instance, part
action of Javanese dance. Before the
dancer moves or steps her foot, she
makes her hand around in front of her
body. She moves her hand to the left or

then turn it through in front of her head
down to chest to the first position. These
action expresses – before someone does
something, it’s better to consider. Throw
away something bad and take the best
one.
Our own traditional dance has a
deep philosophy. It shows the national
identity, Indonesia. We should attempt to
keep it if we do not want to lose it.
