Regarding form, Sumandiyo Hadi’s thoughts on the principles of motion are also used. To dissect the problem of function using the theory of Soedarsono which states, the function of dance is divided into three: 1. As a means of ritual/ceremony, 2. As a means of personal entertainment, 3. As a means of spectacle.
