Barongsai, Dance, LexiconsAbstract
Barongsai is a traditional dance in Chinese culture. This dance has developed rapidly in Indonesia. It is not uncommon to find that the Barongsai dance has changed in various places. Bali, Buleleng, especially the city of Singaraja, is one of the towering places to see how Barongsai dance can survive and develop. However, the current Barongsai dance in the city should receive more attention because most of the Barongsai dance speakers, are not of native Chinese ethnicity but hybrid ones (Chinese and Balinese). This can lead to a loss of cultural identity because the characteristics displayed have begun to be less characterized. Currently, the Barongsai dance performance changes the lexicons in the dance from Chinese to the Indonesian language. If the lexicons (in Chinese) used in the dance performance are reduced, the language will undergo extinction. For this reason, this research must be carried out immediately through a descriptive qualitative study, which aims to analyze the lexicons displayed during the dance performance. The research data used in this study are in the forms of primary and secondary data. The Primary data were obtained through observation and interview techniques, while secondary ones were obtained through the analysis of the book which are used to measure the value of Barongsai dance performance. The results of this study indicate that 27 lexicons were found in the dance were divided into 3 parts, namely: 11 lexicons related to dance movements, 13 lexicons related to its costumes, and 3 lexicons related to its musical instruments.References
