Pembaca :

Waktu masih tinggal di Jogja, Oyin suka makan sate ayam Ponorogo di Jl. KH Dahlan, tepatnya di depan Punokawan sebelah barat pertigaan jalan Gerjen. Tapi ketika itu bahkan sampai sekarang Oyin belum pernah menyaksikan pertunjukan Reog, kecuali hanya mendengar cerita melalui buku pelajaran sekolah. Memang sih sate ayam Ponorogo memiliki rasa yang khas tidak seperti umumnya sate ayam yang pernah Oyin rasakan.

Okey guys kali ini Oyin bukan hendak membahas sate ayam tapi bercerita tentang kebudayaan tari Reog Ponorogo yang juga sangat digemari di luar sana. Kata orang bule yang menulis kebudayaan tari Reog, ternyata ada dua versi Reog yaitu khas Jawa Timur dan Jawa Barat. Tapi walaupun sama-sama bernama Reog, mereka tidak saling berhubungan baik cerita maupun tradisinya. Di mana Reog Ponorogo lebih menampilkan kekuatan fisik sedangkan Reog Sunda cenderung menampilkan tarian dan irama musik pengiringnya.


Reog adalah kesenian yang sudah menyatu dengan nadi Ponorogo. Kesenian ini selalu dipentaskan di berbagai kesempatan, baik itu pernikahan, khitanan, hari-hari besar nasional, sampai sejumlah festival tahunan yang diadakan di Kabupaten Ponorogo. Ada Festival Reog Nasional, Grebeg Suro, serta Pertunjukan pada Bulan Purnama yang biasanya diselenggarakan di alun-alun kota.


Reog is a traditional Indonesian dance form. There are many types of Reogs in Indonesia, but the most notable ones are Reog Ponorogo (East Java) and Reog Sunda (West Java). Although both share a similar name, there is no connection nor similar theme among these traditions.

Reog Ponorogo seems to be the kind of dance that demonstrate physical strength and extravagant lion-peafowl mask and costumes, while Reog Sunda is a lot more like a traditional musical comedy and dance.



Reog is a traditional dance that become the main identity for Ponorogo Regency. Reog National Festival is held every years along the anniversary of Ponorogo regency and Grebeg Suro celebration. Reog dance is also staged full moon nightly in paseban, Ponorogo town square. Reog told about the struggle for a prince who will propose to a beautiful princess.

Reog Ponorogo tells the story of a mythical battle between the King of Ponorogo and the magical lion-like creature called Singa Barong. Singa Barong is a large mask usually made of tiger's or leopard's head skin, upon the mask attached a large fan adorned with peafowl feathers.

The Singa Barong mask was notoriously heavy, the dancer of Singo Barong bear the mask about 30 – 40 kg weight and supported by the strength of their teeth.

Penari Reog terdiri dari Jathil, Warok, dan Barongan atau Dadak Merak. Topeng Dadak Merak yang berupa wajah singa dengan kipas bulu merak beratnya bisa mencapai 30 – 40 kilogram dan hanya ditahan oleh rahang dan gigi penarinya. Tidak jarang, penonton juga diajak duduk di atas kepala sang Barongan. "Wow bingit !"  hehehe kalau pinjem isitilah anak ABG yang suka komen di Facebook.
