After that i was going to another place which show me the traditional dance of Cirebon named Sintren, its like mystical dance, This form of presentation of sintren is divided into three, namely pre-show, life, and synthesis. In the pre-performance stage, the accompanist starts playing the gamelan which intends to call the audience. After that, proceed with Dupan, which is the stage where the handler asks for prayer for salvation. The last stage is Sintren, the stage where the handler brings the prospective dancer along with four other ladies.

For dancer clothing, the clothing used is divided into two, namely, clothing before performing shows, namely everyday clothes and clothes while dancing, namely clothes golek, sampur, cloth, glasses
