TAYUBAN
This kind of performance had been repressed by the state for being wasteful, and also a source of potential disorder: eg youthful high spirits can lead to disruption, and also undermine the respect for elders which is very important in Java. Some say that the repression is the result of Islam: drinking, and dancing with women is condemned by Islam, but my research suggest that this is not the case. Currently tayuban is being revised as a form which is acceptable as official culture.
