Strategic Management and Interpersonal Communication in Overcoming Conflicts in Dance Learning at the Sawawa Sundanese Art Studio

Abstract

This research examines the dynamics of strategic management and interpersonal communication in dance education at Sanggar Gentra Sunda Sawawa. The study focuses on handling movement disharmony in traditional ceremonial dance caused by communication barriers and dancer competence gaps. This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling (POAC) management functions and interpersonal communication approaches in resolving these constraints. The method used is descriptive qualitative through participatory observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Research findings indicate that the integration of disciplined strategic management with empathetic and supportive communication patterns successfully reduced prejudice and semantic noise in the training room. Consequently, group movement synchronization significantly improved in aspects of wiraga, wirahma, and wirasa. This writing contributes to the discourse of arts organization governance that balances artistic technical aspects with psychosocial approaches. It is concluded that the synergy between clear management structures and a positive communication climate is the key to success in maintaining professional performance standards amidst artist regeneration challenge
