The best dance teacher for the past 2 years who teach me how to dance from the start up until now. Good luck for your master degree :’) Gonna miss you!
Yes, Gatri Chandraswari or known better as Gitcha who has been with the JKT48 team since July 2011 has resigned to pursue an advanced degree.
Having just graduated from her studies in Classical, Ancient Mediterranean, and Near Eastern Studies and Archaeology, Gitcha will most likely to pursue her dream as a museum curator by concentrating herself for her master degree basing on her research on the development of art exhibits which would benefit disabled visitors at the National Museum for her Bachelor’s degree thesis.
Still clear on our mind how she work very hard to forge the girls to reach their current quality. How she transform the girls into a horde of dancing ninjas and butterflies. And how she protect the girls from an uninvited critic at a show shows her figure as not only a dance teacher, but also as a mother figure for the girls.
It is also evidently clear that some fans attacked her once virtually and verbally mainly for scolding Yona at the 2nd generation audition. What they don’t understand is her stern way of teaching the girls is for helping them in the long run. A tough love indeed, but proven to be efficient.
That being said, Sensei Gitcha, thank you for everything that you have done. Thank you for guiding the girls and good luck for your future endeavor!
UPDATE:
As RHKilis stated in the comment form:
This is Gitcha’s undergraduate thesis, submitted 26 June 2013 to the Faculty of Cultural Studies at the University of Indonesia:
Conveying Information Through the Art of Display for Disabled Visitors at the National Museum
Abstract:
This research investigates the conveying of information of the museum’s collection through the art of display that is applicable to visitors with special needs, which in this case are disabled people. There are millions of ways to communicate information on an archaeological artifact. Without clear information its significance is lost. Visitors with special needs becomes part of this research. Research is done at the National Museum, Jakarta, so that the museum can redevelop the participation of the people and to raise national education of Indonesia as well as distributing information about archaeology and the use of studying this subject.
今日9月29日、およそ1時間ほど前、JKT48メンバーの歩み出しから晴れの日も雨の日も寄り添ってきたダンスの先生に何かを伝えようとステラがツイートしました。

この2年間の最高のダンスの先生、ダンスができなかった私が今のようになるまで最初から教えてくれたギチャ。S2がうまくいきますようにね、姉さん。あなたがいないときっと寂しいわ！
そう、2011年7月以来JKT48チームと一緒だったGatri Chandraswari （またはGitchaの方がよく知られている）は、より高い学位を求めるため（JKT48のダンス指導者を）辞めることになりました。
古典、古代地中海、近東考古学の研究を卒業し、ギチャは彼女の学士号論文であった国立博物館に訪れる障害者に配慮した芸術の展示方法の開発についての研究に基づいて修士を得ることに集中し、博物館の学芸員になるという彼女の夢を追う可能性が最も高いだろう。
少女たちを現在のレベルに到達させるため、ギチャがどれだけ一生懸命に取り組んだか僕たちの心の中にははっきりしている。彼女がどうやって少女たちを忍者や蝶のようなダンスグループに変化させたのか。彼女が単にダンスの先生としての姿だけでなく、少女たちの母としての姿を見せ、ショーでのいらぬ批判からいかに少女たちを守ったのか。
また、2期生のオーディションで彼女がヨナを厳しく口撃したことで、一部のファンが彼女を責めたこともあった。彼女の厳しい教え方は長期的にはメンバーを助けることになるということを一部ファンは理解できなかった。荒っぽい愛ではあったものの、それが効果があることをはっきり示してくれた。
ギチャ先生、あなたがしてくれたこと全てにありがとうと言いたい。少女たちを導いてくれてありがとう。そしてあなたのこれからの努力に幸運を！

これは、インドネシア大学文化学部に2013年6月26日に提出されたギチャの卒業論文です。
国立博物館における障害を持つ来場者のための芸術展示を通じた情報伝達
要約：
本研究は、特別なニーズがある来場者、この場合は障害者に向けた芸術品の展示方法を通じ、博物館所蔵品の情報をどう伝達するかについて調査したものです。考古学的な成果を情報として伝えるには何百万もの方法があります。しかし情報が明確でなければその意義は失われます。本研究は特別なニーズを持つ来場者を研究対象としています。これはジャカルタの国立博物館で行いましたが、それにより博物館は人々の来場を見直すことができ、インドネシアの国民教育レベルを上げるとともに、考古学についての情報とこの研究を利用することが可能になります。
We remember Gitcha sensei ‘s hard work and love for JKT48 members. She is the very person who colored JKT48’s performance from their beginning, and has been admired. Why don’t you leave your message and your gratitude here for Gicha sensei? In English, Bahasa Indonesia, Japanese, either language is fine. Who knows? she might be lurking around this website and read your message

Japanese Translation by Japarta
Her attitude reminds me a lot of AKB48’s first sensei, which is coincidental (or fateful?) that Gitcha is also JKT48’s first sensei. Both senseis had a same militaristic persona in them, making them very distinctive and unique compared to other choreographers of their respective group.
She’s also one of the ‘most famous staff’ among her peers. Most – if not all – fans knew who Gitcha is, and they were familiar with her. She’s well-known even outside the staff circle.
I agree with you on the ‘Long Live Sensei!’ phrase, Angga. She deserved even a greater respect for what she had contributed in this past 2 years.
Long Live, Gitcha-sensei! Good luck on your degree!
Her future seems very bright.
I’m thankful to her for what she has been able to have done, she’s going to be missed by many obviously and with hope, her legacy of pushing hard work, practice and forthrightness will live in the members.
Godspeed Gitcha-san.

Hoho “anak FIB” , 26 Juni 2013, She just graduated, the world is so small!!!!!!
Where did you got those Gitcha’s undergraduate thesis information RHKilis-San??????
Gitcha sensei is awesome, I mean she brings out “a different taste of dance’s style “.. you know that ENERGIC , SHARP AND “STRONG” vibe IMHO .. you know jkt48’s more alive and breathtaking than their sister ..
when I saw kimisuki, I smell something “new” at first glance.. but I thought (maybe) there’s something wrong wiith my eyes … but then after I observed and compared their dance style ( AKB48 vs JKT48 dance) now I do undestand why Haruka-san say .”JKT48’s dance is lil different from AKB48″
look at this

long live sensei… chuu
I think the dance is rather similar between AKB’s oogoe and JKT’s oogoe.
note: that’s jkt48 video is fancam and that akb48 oogoe diamond is edited quality for eyes cunsume
I see the different after re-obseves for almost 6 months… AKB48style more soft, and “asian”ish but jkt48’s more powerful, “masculin” and western-ish. it kinda remind me of agnezmo dance *I dunno why, is gitcha related to agnezmo ?? anyone know this???
Yes she is. If i’m not mistaken, in the past she used to be Agnes Monica’s dance teacher.
Poor Gitcha, she has been studying for years to be a museum curator. Sadly, she lives in Indonesia. A country where a museum is significantly less popular than a shopping mall (or theatre). So, I propose she should stick with JKT48 instead. Yeah…..that’d be better.
I think she’s great sensei and person as well. Congratulations on her graduation
She should aim for better lives than still working in JKT48.
KIIIのViva! Hurricaneでの高速ステップは、AKBはやってないから
ギチャ先生が取入れたんだろうな。
Mae san’s comment : Translation
We see High speed step in the Viva! Hurricane of KIII.
Because AKB doesn’t have such high speed step in their version, I think Gitcha-sensei herself might adopt it for KIII.
I am sorry to hear that Gitcha sensei is leaving JKT48 as one of Japanese fans.
I understand how hard she struggled to develop her students whom she had to teach from absolute zero.
Gitcha sensei, many thanks for all you have done for your beloved students.
I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!
Gitcha先生二年間ご苦労さまでした 。
富士急で「高飛車」に乗って泣いてたディクを、楽しそうに撮影してた姿が印象に残っています。
次のステップに進むんですね、心から応援してます。
かなわない妄想ですが、シアターで先生の卒業公演があるといいなと思います。
そして「てもでも」「鏡」「天使」「純情」なんかをパフォしてくれたら最高なんですけど・・・無理ですねwww
gannbatte!!
harunatu aki san’s comment :Translation
Thanks for your hard work for two years, Gitcha-sensei.
Your happy smile was unforgettable for me when you shot Dhike trying “Takabisha” and crying in Fuji-Q.
You go your next step, right? I’m cheering you heartily.
I wish JKT48 will have a special “graduation” show for her in JKT48 theater and it will be super great if she performs “Temo Demo”, “kagami”, “Tenshi” and “Jyunjyo”…
But yeah, I know it’s quite heard to come true…
gannbatte!!
ギチャ先生ありがとうございました。
JKTを熱烈応援できのもパワフルな勢いのあるパフォーマンスが楽しいからです。
武道館でのRiverは日本のAKBヲタも絶賛していましたね。ギチャ先生の指導の賜物です
JKTを応援している日本人の私が「これがJKTだ」とあの武道館での勇姿が誇らしく感じました
JOTへお願い、叶うならギチャ先生を名誉Staffか永久メンバーに、JKTがありつつけるまでフリーで劇場やライブ会場などに入れるように
RicaSen-san’s comment : Translation
Thanks a lot, Gitcha-sensei.
What makes me passionately support JKT48 is that I’m happy to see JKT48’s powerful performance.
Their performance “River” in Budokan was praised by AKB wota as well, it was nothing but because of Gitcha-sensei’s coaching. At that time, I, as a Japanese who support JKT48, was proud of their brave figure in Budokan, such as “You see? this is JKT48!”.
My request to JOT, if possible, Gitcha-sensei will be a honorary staff or a permanent member, and please allow her to come to their theater and their live anytime as long as JKT is in this world.
Arigatougozaimaaasssshhhuuu……. Thank you and keep support ninjas and butterflies and the upcoming soldadas (means Soldiers in Spanish)
Ah, the Sensei is here
Welcome Sensei, and thank you for a great tireless job you did for the girls. And Soldadas? Roger that! I will keep that in mind.
Gitcha sensei’s message : Translation
ありがとうございますぅぅぅぅぅぅぅ！
これからも忍者と蝶、そして来たるべき兵士たちを応援してくださいね。
（soldadas は スペイン語で兵士・solldiersのことよ！）
「忍者と蝶」は現メンバーの事を言ってるのは解りますが
「the upcoming soldadas 」と言うのは次の3期生の事を指すのでしょうか？
だとしたらGitcha先生らしい愛のこもったメッセージだと思います。
「貴女達は私が教えたんだから、負けちゃダメよ！」
・・・と勝手な解釈でした。
harunatu aki-san’s message : Translation
I understand that “ninjas and butterflies” means current members.
But does “the upcoming members” mean 3rd generation members?
If so, Gitcha sensei’s message is really full of love for current members, and exact what Gitcha sensei is.
“You know, I coached you. So do never lose!”
… I interpreted by myself.
今の私達を魅了するパフォーマンスは
ギチャ先生の熱心な指導があったからだろうと思います。
いつか絶対帰ってきて下さい！
I’m sure JKT48 owes their current performance that is fascinating us to Gitcha sensei’s earnest coaching.
Please come back “home” someday!

ギチャ先生、今までありがとう！
あなたの熱意と愛がなかったら、今のJKT48はなかったでしょう。
これからも頑張ってください。そして、JKT48の成長を見守ってくださいね・・・本当にありがとうございました。

Gitcha sensei, thanks a lot until now.
JKT48 as present, can not be here without your passion and love.
Try to be the best, and please keep your eyes on JKT48’s growth.
Again, Thank you so much.
