This study focused on examining the meaning of the variety of movements in the Sekar Yudhaningrum dance and the character education values embedded within them. The research method was qualitative, using a descriptive analysis approach that applied Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory and character education principles. The techniques used for data collection consisted of interviews, observations, and document analysis. Primary data were obtained from in-depth interviews and direct observations of the structure and movement forms of the Sekar Yudhaningrum dance through rehearsals and performances. Secondary data consisted of photo documentation, videos, and literature related to the Putri Gaya Surakarta (traditional Javanese dance style from Surakarta) and character education. Data analysis was carried out using an interactive approach involving data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicated that the Sekar Yudhaningrum dance encompassed meanings and character education values that were expressed through its various movements, namely: Lumaksana movement, olah gendewa, ingok-ingok, lembehan, jurus perangan, olah samparan, and perangan cundrik. The meanings of these movements included: (1) a sense of confidence, (2) a posture of alertness, (3) readiness to face challenges, (4) calmness, (5) cleverness and strategy, and (6) self-control against desires. The character education values in the dance were (1) hard work, (2) discipline, (3) independence, and (4) responsibility.
