Abstract: This study explores the ethnomathematics of a traditional dance of South Sulawesi. The dance was known as Four Ethnics Dance. It is one of the famous traditional dances from South Sulawesi that consisting of Four Ethnics which is Makassar, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja Etnics. It is usually performed to welcome the guests in a formal and informal event. The research method was a case study in which we deeply analyzed the dance movement of the Four Ethnics Dance. The data were gathered by observing the performed dance and interviewing some dance experts. The data were analyzed qualitatively using descriptive methods. The analysis found that the concept of numerating, rhombus shape, circle, rotation, and gestures of the dancers in Four Ethnics Dance form three types of angles, i.e., acute angle 0 < x < 90 , right angle x = 90 , and obtuse angle 90 < x < 180 . The angles can be seen in a number of patterns of dance movements. Straight lines and the concept of multiplication are also demonstrated within the movement of the dancers.
