Abstract This study aims to describe a dance artist, Memey Maria, in preserving and inherit Sumedang classical dance to the younger generation and explore cultural literacy process she went through in loving the Sumedang classical dance. Occupied descriptive qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach, the process of collecting data is done through interviews, direct observation, and document review. The results showed that Memey's efforts to maintain the classical dance of Sumedang were based on her love for Sundanese culture since she was a kid. Memey interacts and communicates with Sundanese around her every day. She learned Sumedang classical dance from the maestro, Raden Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah. The regeneration process is done by teaching the dance to students at Universitas Sebelas April (Unsap), Sumedang. Although there were fewer participants, Memey still exited in teaching the dance to female students. The conclusion of this study shows that communication plays an important role in the process of culture learning. Internalization will be formed inside the individual if the cultural learning process continuously takes place. Keywords: Sumedang classical dance, learning culture, regeneration, Chinese. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkapkan upaya Memey dalam memertahankan dan mewariskan tarian klasik Sumedang kepada generasi muda serta menggali proses literasi budaya yang Memey jalani sehingga mencintai tarian klasik Sumedang. Melalui metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi, proses pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, pengamatan langsung serta penelaahan dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, upaya Memey memertahankan tarian klasik Sumedang agar tetap hidup didasari oleh rasa cintanya akan budaya Sunda yang melingkupinya sejak ia kecil. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, Memey berinteraksi dan berkomunikasi dengan orang Sunda di sekelilingnya. Ia pun belajar langsung tarian klasik Sumedang dan maestronya, yakni Raden Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah. Proses regenerasi dilakukan dengan mengajarkan tarian tersebut kepada mahasiswi di Universitas Sebelas April (Unsap), Sumedang. Meski yang ikut tidak banyak, tapi Memey tetap semangat untuk mengajarkan tarian tersebut kepada pada mahasiswi. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan, komunikasi berperan penting dalam proses belajar budaya.
