The preparation process is carried out with the community, this is a form of creative creative education so that the community awakens its creative spirit. The method used in the preparation of the Bothoklo dance is the three R method, namely Re-Visiting, Re-Questioning and Re-Interpreting. The results of the preparation of the Botoklo Dance are then trained to the community as a strengthening of tourist attraction.

The training was carried out in the Dungde Valley Tourism Village, Mlilir Village, Gentungan Village. This is intended to be closer and introduce the Surakarta Indonesian Art Institute campus to the public. In addition, the form of training with the community can also be an attraction for the community / tourists who come to the Dungde Valley.
