The Barong and Kris Dance is an integral part of Balinese culture. Balinese dances are famous all over the world and the Balinese themselves take them very seriously. The commercial performances for tourists that are today offered on a daily basis in several places of Bali do, of course, not have the same religious significance and atmosphere of a dance that is performed at a real temple festival.
Arriving at the cultural dance
Balinese traditional musicians
We arrived earlier 30min, to avoid large crowd.We were greeted with warm welcome by Balinese front desk and the same time distributing paper of notes about the history and story line of the Barong and Kris Dance in English version.They do have Chinese version too. Next we're heading into the hall for seating place. Lot's of places too choose from, mainly sitting in the center is the best part of all. While waiting for the dance, we served with Balinese instrumental song to ease our bored there.
