This study aims to describe how dancers and the community interpret he beauty of lengger dancers in Wonosobo Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenologicala pproach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The results of the study showt hat the meaning of beauty of lengger dancers from the community and lengger dancers themselves have differences. The community tends to interpret beauty visually, while dancers interpret it more broadly and specifically. Beauty will be more directed at inner beauty, flexibility in dancing, the ability to combine makeup and costumes and beauty through spirituala ctivities that are carried out. This meaning becomes a standard of beauty and develops in society. From this standard, a myth of beauty is constructed that becomes a control and is restrictive.
