The context that drives this research is the emotional maturity of the
individual to be one of the aspects of the Student Independent Competency
Standards (SKKPD) as stated in the signs for the implementation of Counseling
Guidance in formal education. Emotional maturity is influenced by the
individual's ability to regulate emotions.
This study focuses on students' experiences of regulating emotions
through Javanese dance. The purpose to be achieved in this study is to determine
the experience of students regulating emotions through Javanese dance.

observation and documentation, due to the COVID-19 pandemic imposed by the
PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) so that face-to-face meetings with
participants were not possible.
The results of the analysis of interviews, observation and documentation
show three main themes, namely emotional regulation strategies, principles as
dancers, and positive self-development. Javanese dance is not only a beautiful art,
but also leads participants to live their lives, gives color to their lives, and affects
