This study aims to analyze the transmission strategies employed by the Ngudi Utama Art Studio in preserving the Buncisan Dance through the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of cultural reproduction. As a non-formal educational institution that serves as a space for learning and developing the Buncisan Dance, the studio plays a strategic role in transmitting knowledge, technical skills, cultural values, and symbolic meanings embedded within the dance to younger generations. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed thematically by applying Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, capital, and field to identify the mechanisms underlying the transmission strategies. The findings reveal that the transmission strategies implemented by the Ngudi Utama Art Studio reflect the process of cultural reproduction through consistent habituation, regular practice, the cultivation of artistic discipline, and active participation in Buncisan Dance performances. The resulting habitus is formed not only through the internalization of dance techniques but also through the development of a strong cultural identity. Cultural capital is manifested in technical skills and traditional knowledge, social capital is established through networks among artists and artistic communities, while symbolic capital emerges through recognition of the studio’s achievements. Meanwhile, the field functions as an arena in which various forms of capital are exchanged, negotiated, and reinforced. These findings highlight the importance of collaborative support among stakeholders and adaptive strategies in preserving the Buncisan Dance while maintaining its essential cultural values.
