Abstract

Most Indonesian people tend to have a collectivism culture. In society, many people choose to be identical to the majority in a group rather than become different. In college, there is a similar situation like this. Some students decide to be the same with their group rather than do something differently. For example, in a pandemic situation, the online class is a learning solution. When the majority of students in the class turn off their cameras, the other student will do the same thing more likely. This phenomenon is called the bandwagon effect. There are several ways to reduce this effect. One of the solutions is understanding the own self. There is a way to do it, and it is Solah Bawa (physical exercise). Solah Bawa is a kind of dance meditation that helps people understand their own body and self. In Solah Bawa one of the activities named Olah Rasa or processing feeling through Solah Bawa. Solah Bawa and Olah Rasa are well-known in Magelang at Padhepokan Seni Tjipta Boedaja (Arts Hermitage). This research was conducted to help college students understand themselves through Solah Bawa and its freedom in dancing. If the students can realize themselves, the bandwagon effect will decrease. After the bandwagon effect decrease, surely people do not feel afraid to be different in a group of people with solid collectivism culture. The theoretical framework used for this research is phenomenology with a qualitative method.
