Baksa Kembang is one of the classical Banjar dances originating from South Kalimantan, Indonesia, which functions as a welcoming dance (Tari Selamat datang) for guests. This dance is usually played by female dancers with the condition that the number of dancers must be odd.

Baksa Kembang was originally a dance that was only performed in the royal environment to welcome guests of honor or royal relatives. However, along with developments, this dance became popular in the community when the Sultanate of Banjar began to open access for the public to watch this dance performance. Thus, the Baksa kembang became popular in the community and became one of the regional cultures in South Kalimantan.[1][2][3]
