This paper addresses modernization's propensity to undermine local wisdom. This research asks how the Pakarena Anida Dance can teach young people educational and cultural values in a sustainable way. This study seeks to (1) identify and define the educational values in each Pakarena Anida Dance movement, property, and accompaniment. (2) the Sanggar Bhakti Seni 05 Makassar's role in preserving this dance is to carry on indigenous wisdom. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. We chose this approach to provide a rich, in-depth, and holistic picture of the phenomenon under study. The main subjects of the research are Sanggar Bhakti Seni 05 (High School 5 Makassar), with a focus on the studio managers, trainers, and students who are actively involved in learning the Pakarena Anida Dance. Participatory observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and document analysis of studio curriculum and training methods collected data. Research shows that the Pakarena Anida Dance is a rich source of local wisdom. Education emphasizes discipline, ethics/courtesy (particularly amongst men and women), patience, and respect for ancestors. An integrated approach to technical dance instruction and cultural philosophy at Sanggar Bhakti Seni 05 Makassar helps students internalize these principles. This study contributes theoretically to performing arts studies as a source of socio-cultural knowledge and practically to educational institutions and local governments in developing cultural preservation policies based on non-formal education and arts communities.
