The interest of the people who came to watch this carnival was enthusiastic, in addition to being involved in dancing under the direction of Vicky Burky and Melly Zamri, the audience was willing to stand and sit on the floor in the courtyard of the Jakarta Theater, the dance performance at the Ampli Theatre was filled with audiences who wanted to watch a variety of traditional, hip hop, modern, contemporary dances, under the drizzle of rain, However, the show went on even though it eventually broke up when the rain got heavier.

The participants consisting of children, teenagers and adults dance community also performed on the prosenium stage of the Small Theater, they seemed to enjoy this event with excitement and enthusiasm to perform their dances at the session that had been determined by the committee. The portion of traditional dance does look very much, because the studios in Jakarta in addition to training modern dance also train various genres of traditional dance of the archipelago.
