This article examines the uniqueness of Banyuwangi culture through the transformation and relationship between Gandrung Dance and Seblang Dance as the main tourist attraction in the region. The research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach to explore the dynamics, meaning, and function of the two dances in the context of cultural tourism. The results of the study show that Seblang Dance, which is sacred and ritual in nature, became the forerunner of Gandrung Dance which now develops as an entertainment dance and more open social media and becomes an icon of Banyuwangi tourism. This transformation reflects the adaptation of local culture to social change and tourism needs. Apart from being a tourist attraction, these two dances also play an important role in preserving traditional values and strengthening the identity of the Using community. However, the process of commercialization and packaging Gandrung as a tourist product also brings its own challenges, especially in maintaining the sacredness and original meaning of the two arts. This article concludes that the preservation and development of Gandrung Dance and Seblang Dance are very important for the sustainability of local culture and the strengthening of sustainable cultural tourism in Banyuwangi.
