Tayub is a traditional Javanese art form featuring female dancers performing movements alongside male dancers, accompanied by Javanese gamelan music and traditional Javanese songs or gendhing. This study aims to analyze strategies for preserving Tayub as an effort to sustain traditional arts within the community of Pati Regency. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used in this research. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity of the data was ensured through data triangulation. Data analysis techniques involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification.The findings revealed that the Tayub performance consists of three stages: the initial stage, the core stage, and the closing stage.

Abstract

Indonesia’s cultural wealth encompasses a wide range of ethnic groups and traditions, including traditional dances that uniquely represent the history, values, and daily lives of local communities. However, in the current era of technological advancement and globalization, traditional dance faces significant challenges, particularly a decline in cultural awareness among younger generations, which has resulted in decreasing interest in cultural heritage. The limited number of studies examining local culture–based dance learning models that integrate creativity, motor skills, and social sensitivity has prompted this study to further explore the implementation of local culture–based dance education as a strategy for preserving cultural heritage while simultaneously fostering students’ creativity, motor development, and social competencies. This article employs a qualitative research approach through literature review, observation, interviews, and documentation conducted in several senior high schools in Pemalang Regency. The findings indicate that local culture–based learning not only contributes to the preservation of traditional dance but also enhances students’ appreciation of their cultural identity. Instructional methods such as demonstration, participatory learning, creative exploration, case studies, and collaborative projects were identified as effective pedagogical approaches. Furthermore, strategies including collaboration with local artists, curriculum integration, and the utilization of technology were found to enrich learning outcomes. Local culture–based dance education plays a crucial role in shaping culturally aware, creative young generations with strong social skills. This approach serves as a bridge connecting young people to their cultural roots, ensuring that traditional arts remain vibrant amid modernization while simultaneously strengthening cultural identity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of traditional dance learning based on local wisdom at SMPN 4 Cepu, with a focus on the process of internalizing aesthetic-ethical values and transforming student behavior through a contextual and experiential learning approach. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documents to collect comprehensive data from the field. The results show that learning takes place in a planned and effective manner through direct practice strategies, teacher demonstrations, and continuous habituation, which successfully integrates mastery of dance movement techniques with a deep understanding of cultural backgrounds, symbolic meanings, and local values. Aesthetic values are internalized through appreciation of movement, rhythm, facial expressions, and the beauty of dance forms, while ethical values are embedded through disciplined practice, group work, mutual respect, and adherence to norms in the affective, cognit ive, and psychomotor domains; this triggers real behavioral transformations in the form of increased self-confidence, discipline, collaboration skills, and appreciation of cultural diversity both in the learning environment and in daily school life. In conclusion, this approach has a positive impact on the formation of local identity and character of students, with suggestions for strengthening school policies through the pro vision of supporting facilities, innovation of teacher teaching strategies, active student participation, and further research to explore long-term effectiveness.​

Abstract

Marching bands as community musical activities have pedagogical potential in the development of soft skills, but studies on this topic are still relatively limited in the context of engineering vocational education. This study aims to understand and identify musical activities in marching band activities as a learning space for soft skills for engineering vocational students at the Politeknik Energi dan Mineral (PEM) Akamigas. The focus of the study is directed at the forms of musical activities that take place in marching bands and their role in facilitating the development of soft skills through collective, structured, and sustainable musical practices. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design that has ethnographic tendencies. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with marching band members, coaches, and advisors, as well as document studies. Data analysis was conducted thematically by linking field findings to Robles' soft skills framework and Temmerman's theory of community musical activities. The results of the study indicate that marching band musical activities, such as routine practice, playing instruments, marching, and group coordination, serve as an effective non-formal learning space for developing students' soft skills, including discipline, teamwork, communication, leadership, and responsibility. These findings confirm that community musical activities have pedagogical relevance as a medium for contextual soft skills learning in engineering vocational education.
