THE INHERITANCE OF LUMENSE DANCE IN KABAENA COMMUNITY: A STUDY IN EAST KABAENA DISTRICT, BOMBANA REGENCY, SOUTHEAST SULAWESI PROVINCE, INDONESIA

Abstrak

This study aims to describe the process of inheriting the Lumense Dance in the life of the Kabaena community in East Kabaena District, Bombana Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The Lumense Dance is a cultural heritage of the Moronene tribe that is rich in symbolic, spiritual, and social values, and plays an important role in traditional ceremonies and community identity. In the face of modernization challenges, lifestyle changes, and declining interest among young people, the inheritance of this culture becomes an important issue to be studied. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that the inheritance of the Lumense Dance is carried out through three main channels: family inheritance, traditional community, and school or art studio activities. Although the inheritance process is still ongoing, its sustainability faces obstacles such as lack of institutional support, limited regeneration of dancers, and the influence of external culture. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between communities, governments, and educational institutions to maintain the existence of the Lumense Dance as part of local cultural identity.
