Ethnomathematics connects mathematics and culture by examining the use of mathematics in everyday life. Many studies show that mathematical concepts are often used unconsciously in everyday activities. In learning, the integration of local culture helps students understand that various activities contain mathematical concepts. However, learning based on Ethnomathematics is still rarely applied. This research analyzes the elements of Ethnomathematics in Lampung Sigeh Pengunten Dance through movements, costumes, and floor patterns. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation using snowball sampling technique. Data validity is done by source triangulation. The results showed mathematical elements in Sigeh Pengunten Dance, such as angles, lines, and various geometric shapes. The philosophy of this dance symbolizes the respect of Lampung people in traditional ceremonies and welcoming guests.
