Traditional dances, like those of Indonesia, have complex and unique patterns requiring accurate cultural preservation and documentation classification. However, traditional dance classification methods often rely on manual analysis and subjective judgment, which leads to inconsistencies and limitations. This research explores a modified deep pattern classifier of traditional dance movements in videos, including Gambyong, Remo, and Topeng, using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Evaluation model's performance using a testing spatio-temporal dataset in Indonesian traditional dance videos is performed. The videos are processed through frame-level segmentation, enabling the CNN to capture nuances in posture, footwork, and facial expressions exhibited by dancers. Then, the obtained confusion matrix enables the calculation of performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1-score. The results showcase a high accuracy of 97.5%, indicating the reliable classification of the dataset. Furthermore, future research directions are suggested, including investigating advanced CNN architectures, incorporating temporal information through recurrent neural networks, exploring transfer learning techniques, and integrating user feedback for iterative refinement of the model. The proposed method has the potential to advance dance analysis and find applications in dance education, choreography, and cultural preservation.
