The results of the research showed that The popularity and specificity of the Indang dance are the strengths for the art to remain in demand and favored by the public. Because the movements shown are fast, and dynamic, and use alternating compositions that seem very unique. Indang dance music has two types, namely vocal music or dendang, and rapa'i sounds called darap Indang. Vocal music, apart from having a charming rhythm, also contains poems or rhymes that contain educational values ​​both for Indang children (players) and for the community. The element of education conveyed through singing is loved very much by the community and is considered communicative, because the rhythm of singing or dendang as a medium of expression can raise public feelings.
