The research entitled “The Symbolic Meaning of the Penguton Dance in the Kayuagung Sub-District of the Ogan Komering Ilir District in South Sumatera”is intended as a form of preservation and a source of information about traditional dance, specifically in South Sumatera.A number of semiotic approaches are used to analyze the problems addressed in the research, in order to investigate the facts and phenomena related to the Penguton dance in the Kayuagung sub-district of the Ogan Komering Ilir district. Based on the existing phenomena, the research aims to discover the background to the existence of the Penguton dance, the process of development of the Penguton dance up to the present day, and the symbolic meaning contained in the Penguton dance. In order to find the answers to these questions, a qualitative method was used together with semiotic theories, while the techniques for collecting data included observation,interviews, and a study of written data and documents. This was followed by an analysis of thedata, verification, documentation, and conclusions. The results of the research show that the symbolization contained in the Penguton dance isan expression of the hearts and minds of the local community as a structure for their society.Tradition refers to the habits of a community which become rules in its supporting environment.The supporting community for the Penguton dance is of a sacred nature and as such, not all members of the general public are able to enjoy a performance of the Penguton dance and the meaning it contains. This rule contains an understanding which becomes a strength of symbolization and thus forms a social strata. Keywords: Penguton Dance, Meaning, Symbolic
