Abstract

Central Java. One of the cultural groups that continues to preserve the existence of Dolalak is the Arum Manis group. The Dolalak Dance performed by the Arum Manis group uses the logungan style, also known as the Kulonan version, which symbolizes strength and resilience. The logung movement is derived from martial arts or pencak silat movements that have been slowed down and simplified. This study aims to describe the choreography of Dolalak Dance as performed by the Arum Manis group in Kutoarjo Subdistrict, Purworejo Regency. The choreography in this research refers to the theory proposed by Y. Sumandiyo Hadi (2012:41). The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnocoreological approach. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed qualitatively using triangulation techniques.
