Jaipong or Jaipongan is a very popular Sundanese traditional dance. Jaipong used to be a social dance performed by couple, girl and boy, but lately it became a staged dance usually performed by girls like the above picture. This dance is accompanied by gamelan, a traditional music ensemble played by a group of musicians.
This picture of dance performance was taken in Ciwalk during the Sundanese Food Festival.
