‘I’ll Die If I Don’t Dance’: Siko Deconstructs Male Dancer Stereotypes
AUGUST 29, 2018
[...] Growing up in Kampung Sewu, in 
the quiet town of Solo in Central Java, 
Siko Setyanto was brought up in a poor 
family. His father was a shoemaker and 
his mother a substitute teacher. Knowing 
they didn’t have the means to send Siko 
to university, his parents encouraged the 
precocious child to dream big. [...]
When Siko was nine years old, a cousin 
took him to see a dance performance 
at Sanggar Maniratari in Solo. It was 
then that Siko discovered his love for 
dancing.
“The fi rst time I saw a dance performance by the students there, I was mesmerized. It 
was so beautifully choreographed. I got carried away and couldn’t stop thinking about 
it,” Siko said.
A few months later, he enrolled himself in Maniratari, and came under the infl uence of 
dance maestro Wied Sendjayani.
Maniratari trained Siko as a contemporary dancer and helped him prepare for a 
professional career.
“Ibu [Wied] came from a contemporary dance background. She knew I was passionate 
and serious, so she trained me harder than everyone else. She recognized my talents,” 
Siko said.
After completing his training at Maniratari, Siko moved to Jakarta. In 2007, he started 
working for Ballet Sumber Cipta, a dance company helmed by one of Indonesia’s dance 
maestros, Frida Oetoyo.
Although he was already trained as a contemporary dancer, Siko said when he was a 
kid he also wanted to learn ballet. [...]
Siko said he faced a lot of discriminations, mostly from friends, when he was a young 
man just starting out his dance career.
Siko Setyanto has been busy breaking the stereotypes of a 
male dancer.
