Tari Teruna Jaya part 1

This well known Balinese dance was created during the early part of the 20th century by Pan Wandres and I Gede Manik. This is definitely one of my favorites... if not THE favorite of Balinese dances. The title means "Victory of Youth" and the dance expresses the turbulent passions and emotions of young men (this dance is usually danced by female dancers though... I don't believe I've ever seen it danced by male dancers though I suppose that's also possible). Sorry I had to cut the dance into two parts because of the 10 minute limit.

although well meaning, do not exoticize this culture with your romantic views. I cant believe people still think like this today. you sound like someone living during colonial times. This is not some kind of museum piece or tradition. Bali is subject to the same global modern current as the rest of the world. And you should really study the meaning behind the dance and dont simply essentialize to some view of the "noble savage"

This. This is the BEST Teruna Jaya dance vid I've seen uploaded on Youtube. And SO helpful, too! Perfect video for me to re-learn the dance again. I learned it from my sister, who learned it from shadowing the advanced dancers during our breaks, when we were learning Pendet-Tenun. Thank you! This is the dance & music I love the most, too!

Can anybody in Jakarta teach me how to dance this version of Teruna Jaya? I just need to dance the first 3 minutes moves (2:18 to 5.20).

Yes, "truna" is a young unmarried man - but women usually dance this because they are thought to be able to capture the "ideal" persona of a young man better than most male dancers, who are considered naturally too "rough" for the demanding role.
