Jurit Ampil Kridha Warastra (Javanese: ꦗꦸꦫꦶꦠ꧀ꦲꦩ꧀ꦥꦶꦭ꧀ꦏꦿꦶꦝꦮꦫꦱ꧀ꦠꦿ) is a classical Javanese dance originating from Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia. The dance depicts the concubines (garwa ampil) from Mangkunegara I or Raden Mas Said in the Salatiga Agreement. This dance is can be performed in teams, in pairs, and individually. The classic elements of the dance are found in the movement, song accompaniment, clothing, and make-up, but now they have been combined with new elements that follow the times.

History dan elements

This dance carries significant meanings: jurit translates to "soldier", garwa ampil refers to "concubine" (of Mangkunegara I), and warastra means "bow and arrow". In general, the dance depicts the troops of Mangkunegara I's concubines during the Salatiga Treaty, which was enacted on 17 March 1757. The treaty involved Hamengkubuwana I, Pakubuwana III, and Mangkunegara I, who each showcased their military strength during the event. Mangkunegara I displayed several bregada (military units), one of which was Jurit Ampil, comprising female soldiers from his concubines.

This dance belongs to the free-style category, allowing performances in groups, pairs, or solo. Its classical essence is evident in its movements, music, costumes, and makeup, although modern elements have been incorporated to adapt to changing times. The dance also blends classical Surakarta-style dance and folk dance, incorporating many movements from the Prajuritan dance. The accompanying music uses Javanese gamelan in the pelog scale, including instruments such as gender, kendhang, demung, saron, kenong, kempul, and gong, while the musical compositions feature lancaran, srepeg, and palaran forms.

The dancers wear a female warrior costume, with their hair styled in a small bun adorned with a golden crown. The main attire consists of a short-sleeved blue shirt with gold embellishments, a belt, and a dodot, paired with knee-length trousers. The weapons include jemparing (bow and arrow), endhong (quiver), nyenyep (arrow), gendewa (bow), and cundrik (dagger). The makeup serves to enhance the character and expression of a soldier's persona.

Notes

The Salatiga Treaty marked an effort to resolve a power struggle that ended the Mataram Sultanate. As part of the agreement, Hamengkubuwana I and Pakubuwana III ceded some of their territories to Mangkunegara I.
