"Fantastic show. Beautiful traditional women dancers and music players carry you in another world, far from reality. "Jaipong" is a traditional West Java danse. The Jatinegara's dirty scene, near the train station and below the highway, is the only place in Jakarta where we can watch Jaipong shows. The audience (Mikrolet and Bajaj drivers) try to seduce the beautiful girls dancing smoothly on this strange music. Just drink a Bintang on a dirty seat, and enjoy the miracle" SZ.
More infos about Jaipongan in this article of the Miami News Time: Gamelan and Jaipongan Live.
To find the place, here are some directions from Jatinegara Stasiun: You have to go in front of Jatinegara train station, take up the street along the railroad. There is a smalll market. When you get to a red light, cross the railway and on the next crossing, turn on the right. Walk 30 more meters (you are still parallel to the railway but on the other side), you will arrive there.. I'm not sure this is very clear, but if it's not, go to the train station and ask some people your way. Good luck!
