<![CDATA[Indonesia, with more than 1,340 ethnic groups, has abundant cultural wealth, including various traditional dances. One that stands out from South Sulawesi is Paduppa Dance, a distinctive cultural expression of the Bugis people. Originally performed to welcome kings and grand guests at weddings, Paduppa Dance is now also performed in various events such as welcoming guests, circumcisions, and weddings. However, the threat of modernization and globalization risks threatening the preservation of this dance, highlighting the importance of preservation efforts to maintain this cultural heritage. This study aims to preserve Paduppa Dance through training conducted by Batch IV KKN students of Muhammadiyah Bone University in Sanrangeng Village. The method used was action research, with training conducted for three days a week from August 22 to September 4, 2024. The training involved 15 students from SDN 97 Sanrangeng and SD Inpres 6/80 Sanrangeng. The results of the training showed significant improvement in students' skills and understanding of Paduppa Dance. Before the training, students did not know the dance movements, adjustments to music, and cultural functions of Paduppa dance. After the training, students successfully mastered the dance movements, understood the meaning of the dance, and realized the importance of preserving traditional dance. The program proved effective in addressing threats to the preservation of Paduppa Dance and preparing students for various cultural events, as well as deepening their appreciation of Bugis cultural heritage]]>
