Jangger Sasak Dance History
The Sasak tribe as the birthplace of the Jangger dance is the original inhabitants of the island of Lombok. The word sasak itself etymologically comes from the word sak-sak which means canoe in the Sasak language. Another opinion says that Sasak comes from the words legitimate (go) and shaka (ancestor) which means to go to the ancestral land.

Both interpretations believe that the Sasak people came from the Javanese. Some opinions also say that the Sasak people are mixed. Mixing of Javanese immigrants with Lombok natives.
The Jangger Sasak dance is said to be performed to entertain the soldiers 
In the show, a beautiful woman will come forward to dance and invite the soldiers who are returning from the battlefield. Dancing soldiers will take turns with other soldiers according to the dancer's choice.
According to several sources, this Jangger dance has existed since the time of Erlangga in East Java. This dance was originally performed by soldiers when they left the palace protocol. The atmosphere of joy and democracy is contained in this Jangger Sasak dance.

Jangger Sasak Dance Pattern
The Jangger Sasak dance pattern is quite unique. Unlike most other traditional dances, this Jangger dance does not follow the existing pattern. 
Jangger dance is also known as the Gandrung dance. This dance basically highlights the main female dancer who will perform the dance. Beginning with Papangan, where the dancers introduce themselves and go around the arena.
The dance is then continued with Gandrangan where female dancers will be more agile around the arena. In his hands, the dancer holds a fan and occasionally glances at the audience like an eagle looking for prey. When a dancer touches his fan to a male entertainer, that person will also dance in the arena.
This is called nenepek and the touch of the fan is called tepek. Both of them were left to be a dancing field, or called ngibing. The two danced until the man took turns with another man.

The Meaning of the Sasak Jangger Dance
The dancers of the Jangger dance who are women often display the shape of their body curves when dancing. However, there is a philosophical meaning behind this dance. Jangger Sasak dance has a strong meaning behind its beauty.
Not just a tantalizing entertainment in front of the audience, Jangger dance signifies the struggle of a woman. Especially the Sasak women as the original dancers of this dance. The struggle of a woman in maintaining their honor is shown in each pattern of this dance movement.

The philosophical meaning of women's struggle in maintaining their honor is well expressed in every movement. Female dancers will have a move to block the male 'naughty hand'.
This female dance dancer from the Sasak tribe also uses clothes that are thick enough to protect her body. The head of female dancers also uses jewelry with sharp shapes. This headdress will be directed at the male dancer if the movement suppresses the female dancer.

All elements in this Jangger dance describe the form of women's struggle to fight and maintain their honor. But now the Jangger dance has begun to experience significant changes. Dancers often look open and eliminate the original meaning of the Jangger dance itself.

In the show, the clothes used are also different from the thick ones in the past. Even if it changes, the essence of the defense value contained in this Gandrung dance can be maintained. But even though there are not many, some still keep the essence of the Jangger dance as a symbol of female defense.
