The planning stage includes a needs analysis study and formulating these needs in a development plan. The planning involved several Javanese dance lecturers in Surakarta. This planning stage was carried out by determining the scope, identifying the characteristics of learning/students, determining product limitations, and making planning documents. The second stage, namely the design stage, includes making the design of the Gambyong Dance practice assessment model, which consists of aspects of assessment (attitudes, knowledge, and skills) in accordance with the learning outcomes of the Surakarta Female Dance course.
