From the results of the search for ideas or concepts that have been carried out, it becomes the main foundation for the choreographer to create a dance work. The concept of dance work is a framework or parts in creating a work that is composed of ideas or concepts, themes, titles, movements, dancers, make-up and costumes, stage layout, floor patterns, dance accompaniment, properties, and lighting. The methods used in creating the dance work Putri Lentui are exploration, improvisation, formation, and evaluation. The choreographer tries to explore, improvise, form, then evaluate from the ideas that have been obtained from exploring information about folklore in a region into a dance work.
