Abstract

This study aimed to make Nusantara (Indonesian) traditional dance-based choreography design which was intended for junior high school students and could be performed by both male and female students. The dance performance could be done solo or in groups. The dance movements were developed from several movements in Javanese, Balinese, and Sumatran dances which were assembled into a single form that emphasizes the agility of junior high school students. This was development research (R&D) which produced a dance design for junior high school students. The data were collected through a survey with the questionnaire, observation, interview, and documentation. The researchers analyzed the data using a qualitative descriptive technique through the expert and user validation, and content validation for each dance step. The results of this study indicate that the movements are developed through the stages of exploration, improvisation, and forming. They were based on the variety of traditional Javanese dance movements (Yogyakarta and Surakarta) combined with Balinese and Sumatran dance styles. The results of validation by the expert and users of the choreography design that has been tried out in the field show that: for the main movements, 20% answer ‘very easy’, ‘easy’ (45%), and difficult (35%). Meanwhile, for the joint motion elements, 60% state that it was very easy, and ‘easy’ by 40%. This shows that the choreography design of the Sigrak Kumandang dance can be performed by junior high school students.
