MISTIK: KERASUKAN KETIKA MELAKUKAN PERSEMBAHAN KUDA KEPANG

Kuda Lumping (Javanese: Jaran Kepang or Jathilan, Indonesian: Kuda Lumping or Kuda Kepang, English: Flat Horse) is a traditional Javanese dance depicting a group of horsemen from East Java, Indonesia. Dancers "ride" horses made from woven bamboo and decorated with colorful paints and cloth. Generally, the dance portrays troops riding horses, but another type of Kuda Lumping performance also incorporates trances and magic tricks. When the "possessed" dancer is performing the dance in trance conditions, he can display unusual abilities, such as eating glass and resistance to the effects of whipping or hot coals.
Although the dance is native to Java, Indonesia, it also performed by Javanese communities in Suriname, Malaysia and Singapore which is more commonly called Kuda Kepang.
