Abstract

Nowadays, technology is increasingly demonstrating its role and influence so high in many aspects of life. This study aims to analyze the strategy is done and the impact that resulted in maintaining the existence of the Kedidi dance in the era of modernization and technological developments. One strategy that is done is through a pluriculturalism strategy. Through the ethnographic research method, this research demonstrates the fact that a pluricular strategy is conducted through a social compromise road conducted by the local government with the Pencak Silat Mawar Putih institute. The strategy was reinforced by the social roles of dancers, society, culture, and historians. In its development, a pluriculturalism strategy produces  functional and dysfunctional impacts. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that a pluriculturalism strategy can maintain the existence of the Kedidi dance. This success is demonstrated through the fact that the Kedidi dance is increasingly known in society. Success is also reinforced by the fact that a pluriculturalism strategy is accepted by the majority of society. This is evident from the advent of conformity adaptation.
