Abstract

 Krambilsawit sub-district is one of the areas in the extreme poor category in DI Yogyakarta. However, Krambilsawit has interesting natural potential. The existence of a unique traditional dance culture is found in this place, called Thoklik Dance. However, its condition has been eroded by time and is starting to fade. This community service aims to provide outreach, training and assistance as well as the application of appropriate technology for villages to optimize their potential, one of which is to preserve the local art of Thoklik Dance. The activity will be held on Sunday, November 5 2023 in Dukuh Nyemuh, Krambilsawit Village. There were 19 participants who were members of Karang Taruna Sapto Manunggal. Activities consist of providing assistance with art equipment, facilitating training, mentoring and applying appropriate technology on social media to promote village potential. The results show that the Thoklik Dance is starting to be revived through practice and the determination of players. The community and participants were enthusiastic to participate in this activity. Furthermore, the art of Thoklik Dance will be displayed on several agendas. Apart from that, the Thoklik Dance will be used as a cultural tourism attraction to support sustainable tourism development in Krambilsawit Village.
