Abstract

Miti-Miti Dance is a traditional performing arts heritage originating from Pulau-Pulau Batu District, South Nias Regency, which plays a vital role as a marker of the socio-cultural identity of the Ono Niha community. Amid the currents of modernization and globalization, this dance faces complex dynamics: on one hand, it has the potential to become a leading asset in cultural tourism; on the other, it is vulnerable to commodification processes that may displace its original meaning and spiritual values. This study aims to examine the existence of Miti-Miti Dance as a local cultural identity and analyze its transformation process within the context of cultural tourism development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven key informants, participatory observation, and documentary study. The findings reveal that the transformation of Miti-Miti Dance occurs multidimensionally encompassing choreographic dimensions, performance contexts, promotional media, and dancer regeneration. This transformation, when carried out participatorily with local communities as the primary actors, actually strengthens the dance's existence as a tourism asset without sacrificing its authenticity. Multi-party collaboration among indigenous communities, local government, educational institutions, and the private sector proves to be the key to successful preservation as well as responsible commercialization. This study recommends a community-based cultural tourism management model as the primary strategy for the sustainable development of Miti-Miti Dance in the modern era.
