Research results show that the existence of Kuda Lumping dance of the Paguyuban Turonggo Mudo in Nagari Koto Gadang Dharmasraya is still developing and alive within the community life of Nagari Koto Gadang. Until now, Kuda Lumping dance is still performed regularly, especially during the annual celebration of Indonesia's Independence Day. This indicates that the art form not only has a place within the Javanese community but is also accepted and enjoyed by the Minang community as part of local cultural diversity. The Kuda Lumping art in the area serves various functions, including as a means of entertainment, a medium for symbolic communication, an economic driver, and a part of ritual activities. Thus, Kuda Lumping has become an integral part of the socio-cultural life of the Nagari Koto Gadang community.]]>
