According to Wikipedia, Bandung Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture , is a state-owned, arts and cultural-oriented educational institution located in Bandung, Indonesia. History In the beginning, the Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture, Bandung, was called Dance Conservatory which was founded in March 1968. However, during this period, the institute was not yet a formal higher education institution. By 1971, an agreement was signed between several government agencies and art education institutes in Bandung, West Java, and Yogyakarta, which led to the Dance Conservatory to function as a branch of the Indonesian Dance Academy of Yogyakarta – which was a precursor to the modern-day Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture, Yogyakarta – leading to the Dance Conservatory to be renamed Indonesian Dance Academy of Bandung .
