Siapa yang 'mencontek' siapa neh ? yang diberikan oleh teman saya tersebut, saya mulai menelusuri satu per satu hingga sampai di sebuah bagian yang judulnya Tarian Barongan. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Silahkan Anda mengikuti langkah saya masuk ke website Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian, &amp;amp; Warisan Malaysia : &lt;a href="http://www.heritage.gov.my/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.heritage.gov.my/&lt;/a&gt; &gt;&gt; Kesenian &gt;&gt; Tarian &gt;&gt; Tarian Tradisional Melayu &gt;&gt; Tarian Barongan (option ke lima dari atas) Anda akan disuguhi kata-kata seperti ini : Barongan menggambarkan kisah-kisah di zaman Nabi Allah Sulaiman dengan binatang-binatang yang boleh bercakap. Kononnya, seekor harimau telah terlihat seekor burung merak yang sedang mengembangkan ekornya. Apabila terpandang harimau, merak pun melompat di atas kepala harimau dan keduanya terus menari. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tiba-tiba Pamong (Juru Iring) bernama Garong yang mengiringi Puteri Raja yang sedang menunggang kuda lalu di kawasan itu. Pamong lalu turun dari kudanya dan menari bersama-sama binatang tadi. Tarian ini terus diamalkan dan boleh dilihat di daerah Batu Pahat, Johor dan di negeri Selangor.Kontan saya terperanjat ! Dari fotonya saya yakin betul bahwa itu mirip sekali dengan kesenian dari kota kelahiran saya, Ponorogo - Jawa Timur. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Saya lahir dan besar di Kota Reog ini. Saya hafal setiap bentuk dari Reog, riwayat dan asal-usul kesenian yang juga menjadi simbol dari Propinsi Jawa Timur ini. Silahkan kunjungi website kota Ponorogo, dan Anda akan disuguhi tampilan dari Reog yang mirip dengan Tarian Barongan dari Malaysia ini &gt;&gt; &lt;a href="http://reog.ponorogo.go.id/" target="_blank"&gt;http://reog.ponorogo.go.id/&lt;/a&gt;Menurut cerita kelahiran kesenian Reog dimulai pada tahun saka 900. Dilatarbelakangi kisah tentang perjalanan Prabu Kelana Sewandana, Raja Kerajaan Bantarangin yang sedang mencari calon Permaisurinya. Bersama prajurit berkuda, dan patihnya yang setia, Bujangganong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Apa bedanya coba ? Siapa yang 'mencontek' siapa neh ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Akhirnya gadis pujaan hatinya telah ditemukan, Dewi Sanggalangit, putri Kediri. Namun sang putri menetapkan syarat agar sang prabu menciptakan sebuah kesenian baru terlebih dahulu sebelum dia menerima cinta sang Raja. Maka dari situlah terciptalah kesenian Reog. Bentuk Reog pun sebenarnya merupakan sebuah sindiran yang maknanya bahwa sang Raja (kepala harimau) sudah disetir atau sangat dipengaruhi oleh permaisurinya (burung merak). Biasanya satu group dalam pertunjukan Reog terdiri dari seorang Warok Tua, sejumlah warok muda, pembarong, penari Bujang Ganong, dan Prabu Kelono Suwandono. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Jumlahnya berkisar antara 20 hingga 30-an orang, peran sentral berada pada tangan warok dan pembarongnya. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tulisan Reog sendiri asalnya dari Reyog, yang huruf-hurufnya mewakili sebuah huruf depan kata-kata dalam tembang macapat Pocung yang berbunyi: rasa kidung/ingwang sukma adiluhung/Yang Widhi/olah kridaning Gusti/gelar gulung kersaning Kang Maha Kuasa. Penggantian Reyog menjadi Reog-yang disebutkan untuk "kepentingan pembangunan"- saat itu sempat menimbulkan polemik. Bupati Ponorogo Markum Singodimejo yang mencetuskan nama Reog (Resik, Endah, Omber, Girang gemirang) tetap mempertahankannya sebagai slogan resmi Kabupaten Ponorogo. Alur cerita pementasan Reog yaitu warok, kemudian jatilan, Bujangganong, Kelana Sewandana, barulah barongan atau dadak merak di bagian akhir. Ketika salah satu unsur di atas sedang beraksi, unsur lain ikut bergerak atau menari meski tidak menonjol. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Reog modern biasanya dipentaskan dalam beberapa peristiwa seperti pernikahan, khitanan dan hari-hari besar Nasional. Seni Reog Ponorogo terdiri dari beberapa rangkaian 2 sampai 3 tarian pembukaan. Tarian pertama biasanya dibawakan oleh 6-8 pria gagah berani dengan pakaian serba hitam, dengan muka dipoles warna merah. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para penari ini menggambarkan sosok singa yang pemberani. Berikutnya adalah tarian yang dibawakan oleh 6-8 gadis yang menaiki kuda. Pada Reog tradisionil, penari ini biasanya diperankan oleh penari laki-laki yang berpakaian wanita. Tarian ini dinamakan tari jaran kepang, yang harus dibedakan dengan seni tari lain yaitu tari kuda lumping. Tarian pembukaan lainnya jika ada biasanya berupa tarian oleh anak kecil yang membawakan adegan lucu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Setelah tarian pembukaan selesai, baru ditampilkan adegan inti yang isinya bergantung kondisi dimana seni Reog ditampilkan. Jika berhubungan dengan pernikahan maka yang ditampilkan adalah adegan percintaan. Untuk hajatan khitanan atau sunatan, biasanya cerita pendekar. Adegan dalam seni Reog biasanya tidak mengikuti skenario yang tersusun rapi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Disini selalu ada interaksi antara pemain dan dalang (biasanya pemimpin rombongan) dan kadang-kadang dengan penonton. Terkadang seorang pemain yang sedang pentas dapat digantikan oleh pemain lain bila pemain tersebut kelelahan. Yang lebih dipentingkan dalam pementasan seni reog adalah memberikan kepuasan kepada penontonnya. Adegan terakhir adalah singa barong, dimana pelaku memakai topeng berbentuk kepala singa dengan mahkota yang terbuat dari bulu burung merak.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Berat topeng ini bisa mencapai 50-60 kg. Topeng yang berat ini dibawa oleh penarinya dengan gigi. Kemampuan untuk membawakan topeng ini selain diperoleh dengan latihan yang berat, juga dipercaya diproleh dengan latihan spiritual seperti puasa dan tapa. Sumber : berbagai sumberSebagai masyarakat Ponorogo asli, jujur saya sedih dengan adanya berita ini. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sepertinya budaya asli Indonesia mulai diangkuti satu per satu oleh Malaysia. Sejak kasus Sipadan-Ligitan, Ambalat, pemukulan wasit dan penyiksaan TKI kita di Malaysia, Pematenan lagu Rasa sayange, Ilir-ilir, Indung-Indung, Si Jali-jali, batik, wayang, angklung, dll, saya pribadi sangat menyayangkan sikap Pemerintah Malaysia yang seolah-olah arogan terhadap bangsa serumpunnya, yakni Indonesia. Indonesia ? Kapan Anda sadar akan imperialisme perlahan-lahan seperti ini ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;gimana pemda ponorogo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;kayak gini kok ga peduli, di patenkan kek!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;artikel ini saya dapat dengan tdk sengaja pada forum multiply&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nggak percaya!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://kelompokdiskusi.multiply.com/journal/item/494/Reog_Ponorogo_INDONESIA_vs_Tarian_Barongan_Malaysia_..._Siapa_Bangsa_Pencontek_Budaya_"&gt;klik disini&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1681768831712233804-4856511572472373468?l=reogdance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/feeds/4856511572472373468/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1681768831712233804&amp;postID=4856511572472373468' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/4856511572472373468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/4856511572472373468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/2007/09/bujang-ganong.html' title='Reog Ponorogo INDONESIA vs Tarian Barongan Malaysia ...

Dreams hold great portent in Indonesia, both then and now, and his prime minister took it as sign that Princess Dewi should be the king’s wife and bear him his heir. His dream came too late, however, because Adipati, the tiger king, had already proposed to the beautiful princess. Classic situation; one eligible and drop-dead-gorgeous princess and two extremely well off, love-sick suitors, forget one of them is a tiger. There would obviously have to be a contest of some sort. Princess Dewi thought about it for a while and decided that she wanted three things from her husband-to-be.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1681768831712233804-260972789889607105?l=reogdance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/feeds/260972789889607105/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1681768831712233804&amp;postID=260972789889607105' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/260972789889607105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/260972789889607105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/2007/09/dadak-merak.html' title='dadak merak'/><author><name>ponsell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04847310338086799359</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/SeHqULq_TsI/AAAAAAAAAJY/lBqC3mU7olE/S220/935616862m.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/Ru5W3JVC-UI/AAAAAAAAAEw/mdu2zBPWwUI/s72-c/reog+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681768831712233804.post-3082625929184838133</id><published>2007-09-17T03:07:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T12:31:46.062-08:00</updated><title type='text'>dadak merak &amp; jathil</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/Ru5TA5VC-RI/AAAAAAAAAEY/9L6hfYj33ow/s1600-h/reog+1.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111113901966293266" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/Ru5TA5VC-RI/AAAAAAAAAEY/9L6hfYj33ow/s400/reog+1.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/Ru5SO5VC-QI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/lGWL-O-uMBk/s1600-h/reog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111113042972834050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/Ru5SO5VC-QI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/lGWL-O-uMBk/s400/reog.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="52" alt="" src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/FNET13%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" width="154" /&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 1px; HEIGHT: 1px" alt="" src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/FNET13%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1681768831712233804-3082625929184838133?l=reogdance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/feeds/3082625929184838133/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1681768831712233804&amp;postID=3082625929184838133' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/3082625929184838133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/3082625929184838133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/2007/09/blog-post.html' title='dadak merak &amp; jathil'/><author><name>ponsell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04847310338086799359</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/SeHqULq_TsI/AAAAAAAAAJY/lBqC3mU7olE/S220/935616862m.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/Ru5TA5VC-RI/AAAAAAAAAEY/9L6hfYj33ow/s72-c/reog+1.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681768831712233804.post-8380912364319787052</id><published>2007-09-17T03:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-17T14:51:45.813-07:00</updated><title type='text'>REOG PONOROGO</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;" &gt;Ponorogo is most well known for the reog mask dance, which is said to have been created by one of the kings of Kediri in the 12th century. The performance re-enacts a legendary battle between Pujangga Anom, a minister from the court of Ponorogo, and Singa Barong, guardian spirit of the forest of Lodoyo. The former had aroused the anger of Singa Barong when he stole 150 tigers from the forest, apparently to be offered as a dowry payment for a princess of Kediri, whom the king of Ponorogo wished to marry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;" &gt;A typical reog troupe, then, usually consists of the principal characters; Singa Barong, wearing an enormous tiger head and peacock feather mask, and his adversary Pujangga Anom. They are accompanied by one or more masked clowns/acrobats, as well as a number of hobby horse dancers, who are said to represent the troops of Pujangga Anom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"&gt;The people of Ponorogo have a reputation for being tough, both physically and mentally. The qualities of bravery and daring are fully displayed in a reog performance, where the focus of attention is on a trance dancer supporting a giant mask, often weighing more than 40 kg, between his teeth. The mask is a ferocious, snarling tiger's head, covered in real tiger skin and crowned with a gigantic three meter fan of peacock feathers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"&gt;The success of a performance, including the ability of the principal dancer to bear the weight of the mask, is said to depend upon the magical power of the leader of the dance troupe. Known as warok, these men are believed to possess special talents, gained through years of training. One of the unique features of the reog dance is that the hobby horse (jaran kepang) dancers are invariably young boys dressed as women. Known as gemblak, they accompany the warok, who are forbidden close association with females, in their travelling performances. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"&gt;Contest of Reog dance is presented annually by the local government.

The      weight of this pair, called Dhadhak Merak, may reach 40 kg or even 100 kg, carried by one      man, moving around, up and down. The tiger's head symbolizes a hero. The man, warok, who      bears it must have a magic power. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dhadhak Merak&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;,      often known as Singobarong, is performed as a welcoming dance for honorable guests, or as      attractions, complete with its attributes. For instance, the player of the role of Prabu      (King) Kelana Sewandono, with his supernatural power, always carries an inhabited, holy      whip. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"&gt;Another man plays the role of      a dancer, &lt;i&gt;Bujangganong&lt;/i&gt;, a governor under the rule of King Kelana Sewandono. He is a      hero with a bad face, bearing a mask with a red, long nose, untidy hair and tusked teeth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The team of players is      completed with riders on horses made of bamboo plaitwork or skin of animal. They symbolize      the escorting soldiers of King Kelana Sewandono on his trips. Formerly these horse-riders      were played by men called Gembak. But now they are generally women. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The total number of a      Reog team is between 20 and 40 members, including the magical heroes (&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;waroks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;)      with open breasts and waist band, symbolizing their magic power. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;According to history      the Reog dance originated from the glorious era of the Kediri kingdom around the l5th      century. The region of Ponorogo was called Wengker, the seat of the kingdom of Bentarangin      (now the area of subdistrict Sonoroto) under King Kelana Sewandono. He had a governor,      Pujangga Anom (in the Reog dance called &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bujangganong&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;). One night Kelana      Sewandono dreamed meeting a beautiful princess, Songgolangit. He felt in love with her and      ordered his governor to ask the hand of the princess. This proposal was accepted on the      condition that the King should present an attraction which was still unknown at that time.      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;King Kelana Sewandono      then decided to kill the powerful King Singo Barong, who was pictured as a king with a      tiger's head bearing a wide-winged peacock. The victorious King Kelana Sewandono then went      into procession to the palace of the princess, bearing the defeated Singo Barong. The      procession attracted great attention during the trip to the palace. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Another story says that      Reog dance is a hint on the king of Majapahit, who married a Chinese princess. The King's      power was therefore pictured as being defeated by the beauty of the Chinese princess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;No matter its origin, the Reog dance is a popular      attraction, not only in Ponorogo, but all over Java to be performed on various events,      including the field of tourism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;resource : &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);" href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/ponorogo/tourobj/pon-reog.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/ponorogo/tourobj/pon-reog.htm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1681768831712233804-8868177160084644130?l=reogdance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/feeds/8868177160084644130/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1681768831712233804&amp;postID=8868177160084644130' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/8868177160084644130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1681768831712233804/posts/default/8868177160084644130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reogdance.blogspot.com/2007/09/reog-ponorogo-tiger-peacock.html' title='Reog Ponorogo: Tiger, Peacock'/><author><name>ponsell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04847310338086799359</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4IFk1bGuTtI/SeHqULq_TsI/AAAAAAAAAJY/lBqC3mU7olE/S220/935616862m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
