This time, i will tell you about my own culture, from Ponorogo east java, from spiritual soul and mixed to be one, and then Reog almost stolen by malaysian. Reog is an traditional Indonesian dance form, but the most notable ones are Reog Ponorogo and Reog Sunda (west java). Although both share a similar name, there is no connection nor similar theme among these traditions. Reog ponorogo seems to be the kind of dance that demonstrate physical strength and extravagantlion-peafowl mask and costumes, while Reog Sunda is a lot more like a traditional musical comedy and dance.Reog is a traditional dance that become the main identity for Ponorogo Regency. Reog National Festival is held every years along the anniversary of Ponorogo regency and Grebeg Suro celebration. Reog dance is also staged full moon nightly in paseban, Ponorogo town square. Reog told about the struggle for a prince who will propose to a beautiful princess. Reog Ponorogo tells the story of a mythical battle between the King of Ponorogo and the magical lion-like creature called Singa Barong. Singa Barong is a large mask usually made of tiger's or leopard's head skin, upon the mask attached a large fan adorned with peafowl feathers. The Singa Barong mask was notoriously heavy, the dancer of Singo Barong bear the mask about 30 – 40 kg weight and supported by the strength of their teeth.The origins and cultural ownership of the Reog Ponorogo dance have been the subject of a dispute between the neighboring countries of Indonesia and Malaysia, whose ethnic, cultural and religious histories overlap and share many similarities. Mostly because there is numerous descendants of Javanese immigrants in Malaysia, especially in Johor state, and they brought many Javanese-origin artforms such as Wayang, Reog and Kuda Lumping. So you can learn another tradition of Indonesia, there's a lot of tradition.
