For all members of Liga Tari Mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia Krida Budaya, dance is not just swinging, but it is a form of cultural communication that allows people to understand the culture itself. In addition, dance is a way of understanding the diversity of Indonesia. The group dedicates itself body and soul to and for the promotion of Indonesian culture, uniting with the Indonesian state in its efforts to preserve the tradition of many places and provinces, supporting the performing arts while providing a positive social environment through of educational programs and professional public performances helping young people navigate the difficult balance between contemporary youth culture and their cultural heritage, providing high-quality in-depth arts training and leadership development opportunity for young people who want and have qualities to dedicate themselves professionally to dance, where the body is a cultural treasure of our country.
