- Abstract
Dance Art has an important role in our lives; it is used as media for expression, communication, creative thinking, and talent development. The dance practice is also considered important as efforts to improve independence and positive things for the inmates. The inmates during the training period were preoccupied by various activities, both religious and arts activities. This is a process of character building to become a better human being so that the inmates will no longer do activities or things that break the law. The aim of this study is to conduct an effort carried out through dance training, both in the form of training methods and the dance training process. The coaching activities invited prisoners to experience and witness the regional art demonstration, i.e. Rapa’i Geleng dance developed with a sense of local dance movement, creativity process (choreographer) and accompaniment songs. The researchers used a qualitative method with a descriptive, verification, and grounded research formats. Rapa’i geleng is one of the Acehnese art traditions in the southern region. The movements of the Rapa’i geleng dance describe togetherness, solidarity, cooperation, and uniformity within the scope of Acehnese society. The performance was accompanied by a poetry delivered by a sheikh with the intention of conveying social, missionary endeavor, and cultural messages. Furthermore, the dance was performed in front of the inmates to motivate them to continue working in positive terms.
