The Jaipong dance is a work of art from an artist from Karawang, he creates this work of art by combining movements from pencak silat, mask banjo, puppet show, tepak mask, tap tilu and tarling.

In the 1960s, Gugum Gumbira, an artist from Bandung, wanted to make this art valuable. The aim is to promote folk dance which is then combined with contemporary dance.
