INTRODUCTION
The word Dagong is derived from the name for the combination of drum and gong instruments, which reads Dag-Gung Dag-gung, so  Dagong Dance has elements of motion that is the motion performed according to which is determined during appearance.

Until now the tradition of Dagong still uses the old form of movement without altering or creating the movements to a modern movement such as today, because in the dance movement there are symbols in it and it Can not be changed to a new movement, because the dance is a hereditary dance, which symbols are believed to be meaningful to the society of the tribe of Liong.
The form of Dagong tradition dance movement There are symbols that are interpreted by the movements of the motion is still retained by the people of Liong, because the community thought is still strong culture of old, so, despite the development of the era They remained obedient to the azas of the movement symbols in the dance.
Because the symbols of the motion are a cultural heritage of their ancestors who for them should still be implemented because it is part of the tribe's customs. Very simple and very easy to master, but inside Dance movements contain a lot of meaning for the indigenous people Liong, because the society's thinking is still strong culture old, so that the development of their era is still discuss with the Chairman of the Customs of the development of The new movements are all dependent on the customary head of the tribe, because the tradition for them remains to be implemented because it is part of the tribe's customs.

Although this dance is seen in his performances somewhat monotonous. Because this dance is displayed with a number of varieties of minimalist motion, and the dynamics that have not been able to stir the audience emotions.

Referring to the phenomenon of the current Dagong dance, researchers see there is a fanaticism to the motion symbol in the Dagong dance, which is understood by the Liong indigenous peoples. If not of course the motion symbols will change, disappear, or be replaced with new symbols. Thus the problem of this research is on the question of the motion symbol in the Dagong dance.
