520 $a Dance events at which male dancers improvise in West Java represent an enduring set of conditions that schematizes many of the contradictions inherent in Sundanese gender identities. The “protocols” through which these meanings are made are common cultural capital—virtually every Sundanese man, woman, and child takes them for granted. A survey of historical dance suggests that three elements that persist in all forms—professional female singer/dancers (<italic>ronggeng</italic>), drumming that literally “animates” dancers, and a sense of “freedom” on the part of the male dancers—combine to form a durable but flexible “triangle.”
520 $a I demonstrate that all participants iterate the norms of Sundanese gender identities into existence in the course of dance events. I examine the dance event triangle in light of other triangular models that illuminate gender ideologies and the creation of desire, such as Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's erotic triangles, René Girard's mimetic triangles, and the Oedipal triangle as interpreted by Lévi-Strauss, Freud, and Lacan, and suggest how the inscription of gender ideologies through dance events is masked as aesthetic interplay between dancing, drumming, and <italic>ronggeng</italic>.
520 $a I then apply a “trigonometry of aesthetics” suggested by my triangular model to several contemporary case studies, including folkloric reconstructions of <italic>ketuk tilu</italic> (an obsolete dance event genre), the popular music and dance innovations called <italic>jaipongan</italic> and <italic>dangdut</italic>, and Sundanese “classical” dance as promulgated by modern choreographers. This analysis clarifies relationships between dance event protocols and aesthetics on the one hand and continuities and changes in gender ideologies on the other.
520 $a Finally, I examine how dance is redeployed in service of creating a “Sundanese” identity within a larger “Indonesian” context. Recasting participational dances as presentations of “Sundaneseness” disables the process of situating the masculine self through dance, so Sundanese reinscribe the dance event triangle onto <italic>dangdut</italic> music and dance—arguably among the <italic>least</italic> Sundanese-sounding music in common circulation in West Java. By avoiding—even precluding—the sonic emblems of Sundanese music that have come to represent “tradition” and Sundaneseness, <italic> dangdut</italic> ironically is able to recuperate a forum for enacting an unassailably <italic>khas Sunda</italic> (authentically Sundanese) approach to constructing and contesting gender ideology: the dance event triangle.*
