Each year, in this hamlet, the Nyadran Tenongan ceremony is held and the Lengger Punjen dance is always performed during this ceremony. The local community believes that if they fail to hold the Nyadran Tenongan ceremony, they may be afflicted by disaster, such as illness or a failed harvest, because the spirits of their ancestors guard the wellbeing of the Giyanti hamlet. The research is qualitative and is based on Susanne K. Langer’s theory of form and Anthony Shay’s theory of function. The function of the Lengger Punjen dance performed at the Nyadran Tenongan ceremony is a reflection of the legitimacy of the social order, a vehicle of ritual expression that is both secular and religious in nature, a form of entertainment or a recreational activity, a channel for spiritual release, a reflection of aesthetical values, and a reflection of a pattern of economic activities.Keywords: Lengger Punjen dance, form, and function.
