However, nowadays, the dance has almost disappeared. This study uses two methods, namely, qualitative and Research & Development (R & D). A Qualitative methodis carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. While interpretive analysis is used in the research to dig the concept of dance itself. Research & Deployment is employed through some stages: (1) product design; (2) design validation; (3) design improvements; (4) product trials; (5) product revisions; and (6) production. Through the emic approach, the results of this study indicate that Manyakok dance has a potential to be developed in the packaging of dance entertainment. Meanwhile, from an aesthetic point of view, the structure of the Manyakok dance is still very simple, does not have a well-ordered pattern. Therefore, creativity is required to maintain its continuity.Keywords: creativity, manyakok dance, developing art, the preservation of traditionAbstrakTari manyakok merupakan tari tradisional masyarakat Pangean, Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi, Provinsi Riau, yang menggambarkan rutinitas kehidupan masyarakat sehari-hari dalam menangkap ikan.
