Pangastuti Dance: The Acculturation of Balinese and Yogyakartan Cultures

The phenomenon of cultural acculturation in Indonesia grows rapidly. This is caused by the migration of the population from one to another area, including the Balinese people who spread to various parts of the country in Indonesia. The phenomenon of cultural acculturation through art, especially dance can be studied through a Pangastusi dance. The aim of this study is to describe the Pangastusi dance ethnographically, so that the background, and aspects of its constituent elements can be elaborated. The data in this study were collected through observations on Pangastuti dance videos. This was done to find the variety of movements, costumes, and music of the female Yogyakartan style in the Pangastuti dance performance. The data found in the Pangastuti dance were analyzed, and described. Also, the position of movement, costume, and music that exists in the dance were interpreted. Verbal descriptions were used in analyzing the data. The results of the study show that there are ten types of Yogyakartan-style dance movements used in the Pangastuti dance, including the movements of lembeyan, kenser, trisik, ombak banyu, gajah ngoling, seblak sampur, tumpang tali, jengkeng jeblosan, and ngelayang. Then, the costume and accessories include pending, centung, gelangkono naga, sari ayu, pelik, untaian melati, and gelung bokor. In addition, the music covers gending kemanak used in the presentation (sembahan) and at the end (pakaad) of the Pangastuti dance.
