LEGONG DANCE

The legong dance is in fact like a full ballet in which there are included many divertissements such as Pendet (welcome dance).
Oleg Tamulilingan (courtship of the Bumblebees). Tani Tenun (dance of the weaving girls) etc.
What binds these dances together is the unique Balinese style of body placement, the strong musical accents accompanied by swift and dramatic changes of direction, and the unique use of eyes and hands. To understand something of Balinese dancing, one must see the Legong.

SANGHYANG DANCE
Traditionally, when the community is threatened with dangers caused by demons and evil spirits,the Sanghyang is danced as a means to establish or strengthen the contact between the Gods and mortals.
The dance is performed by young girls who have shown the ability to go into trance and they are carried on the shoulders of male attendants. Also featured is a male on a wooden horse, who is able to dance barefoot.

BARONG AND KERIS DANCE
This is a ritual contest between two nether-worldly figures - the chaotic Rangda, and the opposing force of protection, oder and healing, the Barong.

KECAK DANCE
This is a recent form of an old ritual dance, choreographed a new in the 1930s by the late European artist Walter Spies in collaborations with I Wayan Limbak, a principal dancer from Bedulu Gianyar. The sanghyang circular chorus of nearly 100 barechested male dancers become a forest, a legion of monkeys and whatever set is required for Ramayana epic.
