Jaipongan (), also known as Jaipong, is a popular traditional dance of Sundanese people from Indonesia. The dance was created by Gugum Gumbira, based on the traditional Sundanese Ketuk Tilu music and pencak silat movements.
== Background == In 1961, Indonesian President Sukarno prohibited rock and roll and other Western genres of music and challenged Indonesian musicians to revive the indigenous arts. The name jaipongan came from people mimicking the sounds created by some of the drums in the ensemble. Audiences were often heard shouting jaipong after specific sections of rhythmic music were played. Jaipongan made its public debut in 1974 when Gugum Gumbira and his degung and dancers first performed in public.
