Like other art, art reogpun liked by the people, especially people in rural and small urban communities because they contain elements of entertainment and attractions drum rhythms (dogdog: Bahasa Sunda) who was beaten in a varied and combined with a funny dance and song lyrics full of social messages and religious.

Although art imported from the west but more abundant in the particular society reog still like art. Only the players and the organization increasingly difficult to be found and if there they were usually from the older generation.
