Situbondo Ethnic Festival (SEF) is an annual festival held by the Situbondo Education and Culture Office. This festival is an innovation and idea from the regent of Situbondo with the concept of Choreography on the street whose presentation is colossal. In 2023, the Situbondo Education and Culture Office invited the Dance Study Program to participate in SEF 2023 with the theme Situbondo Legend, Situbondo Greet Indonesia Proud. Dance Study Program students through the MBKM project Independent program submitted the work of Roro Jonggrang representing the Dance Study Program of FSP ISI Yogyakarta in the 2023 SEF Festival. Dance Study Program students won the Best Presenter category for participants from outside the region, competing with ISI Surakarta, Malang State University, Jakarta Institute of Arts, ISI Denpasar, and several other leading universities.
Departing from the success of the Dance Study Program in the event, the Dance Study Program took the initiative to continue the previous cooperative relationship with the Situbondo Education and Culture Office which had invited the Dance Study Program in SEF 2023.
