Bentuk Koreografi Tari Dadara Boto Di Sumbawa

Abstract

Dadara Boto is a creative dance inspired by the Sumbawa people's tradition of weaving. Dadara Boto in Indonesian means a skilled woman. Dadara means girl or woman and Boto means skilled or smart. It can be interpreted as a whole that the Dadara Boto dance tells the story of Sumbawa girls who deepen various skill activities. The weaving tradition makes this skill an identity for women. Because of this, there is a local expression that says "siong tau swai, lamen no to nesek" meaning not a woman, if she cannot weave. The Dadara Boto dance is a typical Sumbawa dance created by Saprudin and H. Hasanuddin. The Dadara Boto dance contains meaning and a message for women to learn from an early age because only women who are intelligent, independent and have good personalities are able to compete in social life.
