Abstract

This study aims to analyse the existence of turak dance as one of the traditional dances which has become a local wisdom in Musi Rawas Regency which has very high historical and cultural values in the perspective of the younger generation in the digital era. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data was collected by combining literature studies, direct observation, distributing questionnaires, interview and triangulation. The results showed that: 1) Turak dance is only known by a small proportion of teenagers in Musi Rawas Regency. The results of a questionnaire observation at three high schools in Musi Rawas Regency, showed that out of 180 people, only 14 people (7.8%) knew or had heard of the name turak dance. 2) The lack of knowledge about turak dance is motivated by the assumption of teenagers in Musi Rawas Regency (age range 14-18 years) that turak dance is an ancient dance, so they are neither interested nor interested in practicing it or preserving it. 3) The lack of a sense of ownership and preservation of the Turak dance among teenagers threatens the regeneration of the turak dance in the future, where if this remains unchecked then it means the extinction of one of the local wisdoms of Musi Rawas Regency which is a pillar of Indonesia’s national culture.
