STRENGTHENING SOCIAL SKILLS THROUGH DIGITAL-BASED NONFORMAL LEARNING IN K-POP DANCE COMMUNITIES: A CASE STUDY IN BENGKULU

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the dynamics of the K-Pop dance community Glintzy in
Bengkulu in shaping the social skills of its members. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were
collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The results of the
study indicate that the Glintzy community is an effective non-formal learning space for the development
of social skills such as communication, cooperation, leadership, and self-confidence. Interactions within
the community are open and egalitarian, strengthening a sense of solidarity and togetherness. This
study confirms that interest-based communities such as Glintzy make an important contribution to
character education and the formation of the social personality of the younger generation.
