Abstract: Abstract Traditional dance in Indonesia is not merely a form of artistic expression but a cornerstone of the nation's cultural heritage. This research delves into the significance of incorporating traditional dance into Indonesian cinema as a means of preserving culture and promoting tourism. Some Indonesian movies frequently feature traditional dance, revitalizing historical art forms and fostering a deeper understanding of the country's cultural legacy. Through the lens of cinema technology and new media, storytelling has evolved, enabling moviemakers to bridge the gap between past and present seamlessly. Utilizing a qualitative method in visual research, this study employs in-depth interviews and visual analysis to explore the nuanced complexities of artistic expression and cultural representation in contemporary Indonesian cinema. This paper explores how traditional dance in Indonesian movies serves as a narrative device, conveying national ethos and values to a global audience. The genre of dance films, blending choreography and cinematic production techniques, represents a unique hybrid form that transcends traditional boundaries. By choreographing specifically for the camera, moviemakers create a cinematic interpretation of dance that is immersive and captivating. The integration of traditional dance into Indonesian cinema is crucial for cultural preservation and promotion. However, despite abundant resources, there remains a need for further exploration and investment in this genre. This study aims to shed light on the importance of traditional dance in Indonesian movies and its broader implications for the future of both dance and movie art.
