"Gambyong" is an Indonesia Traditional Dance

Natalia P

Gambyong is a form of classical Javanese dance that originates from the Surakarta region and is usually performed for performances or to welcome guests.  Gambyong is not just one dance but consists of various choreography, the best known are the Gambyong Pareanom Dance (with several variations) and the Gambyong Pangkur Dance (with several variations).  Even though there are many kinds, this dance has the same basic movement, namely the tayub/tlèdhèk dance movement.  Basically, gambyong was created for a single dancer, but now it is more often performed by several dancers by adding elements of stage blocking so that it involves large lines and movements.
