Bondan Dance originates from the City of Surakarta and is an Object for the Advancement of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the field of performing arts. This traditional dance is a type of classical dance that has been performed since the time of the Majapahit kingdom. In the past, the Bondan Dance was obliged to be performed by a village development group in the Mataram kingdom as a sign to show its identity as a prospective mother of a generation.

This dance has a philosophy that describes the love of a mother who cares for and educates her child selflessly under any circumstances even until her child dies. This Bondan dance is performed by a woman holding a baby doll with an open umbrella and she has to be careful because she is dancing on a jug which cannot be broken.

There are three kinds of movements with different meanings in the Bondan dance, namely Cindogo Bondan, Mardisiwi Bondan, and Mountain Bondan.
