Gambir Anom is a solo dance, Surakarta style of the refined type, danced either by a man or a woman but usually by a woman. The Gambir Anom dance depicts Irawan, Arjuna's son, in love. He is dressing himself up; he comvs his hair, powders his face, arranges his eye-brows and puts his clothes in order. His toilet complete, he bends forward in several directions as if the gorl of his dreams is in front of him.
