Menari Tourism Village With Sustainable Traditions

To get to this village, you have to pass through Salatiga Ring Line then turn towards Kopeng or Magelang. It takes about 10 minutes or about 9 KM to find a board leading to the Menari Tourism Village.

As the name implies, Menari (can be interpreted as Dancing) Tourism Village offers many packages for your vacation. One of them is an art tour package with prices ranging from IDR 95.000 - 140.000.

You can watch various dances here, starting from Warok Dance, Gemukan Bocah, Ayu Mask, Werok Creation, Kuda Lumping (Leathered Horse), and Palace Soldier Dance or Eko Prawiro Dance.

Most of the local people here are, on average, dominated by traditional dance conservationists. So, it is no wonder that you will see many dance performances here.
