Yapong Dance is a semi-traditional dance that originated from the northern coast of West Java, Indonesia, and is specific to the Betawi ethnic group. It is an adaptation of the Jaipongan dance, which is a traditional Sundanese dance. Yapong Dance is typically performed as a dance performance. It is a semi-traditional dance that was created by Bagong Kussudiardja in 1977. The name “Yapong” is taken from the sound of the music, which goes “ya.. ya.. ya..” and “pong.. pong.. pong..”.

The Yapong dance is typically performed by women, who wear traditional Betawi costumes, including a kebaya, kain panjang, and selendang (scarf). The dance is characterized by its dynamic and energetic movements, which are often accompanied by flirtatious gestures.
