With a strong foundation in the five traditional Malay dance genres such as Asli, Inang, Zapin, Masri, and Joget, Republic Polytechnic's Dharma Endari (RPDE) aims to preserve the elegance of traditional Malay Dance as well as explore the vibrancy of Contemporary Dance.

Under the expert tutelage of Mr Fathurrahman Bin Said, the interest group has attained several accolades since its inception in 2005. In 2018, RPDE clinched 2nd place in Persada Juara Tari with the title of “Promising Choreography” and champions of Mutiara Tari in 2022 with the title of “Best Choreography.”

Since 2008, RPDE has featured annually in Republic Polytechnic’s two major dance platforms, Momentum Dance Festival and MUSE Dance Concert. The members have also performed in external events such as the Rentak Budaya in 2017, National Day Parade in 2019 and Worldskills ASEAN in 2023 and more.

In 2016, the interest group produced "Chaya - Sinar & Menyinari" for the group’s 10th anniversary where members progressed to the next level as Choreographers and conceptualised their very own dance routines for the production.
