Excerpts of the traditional Balinese Legong dance with the sounds of the gamelan. The Balinese live their religion as no other people. These dancers are beautiful and move their eyes, fingers, heads, hands and bodies in such an amazing way.

  • @godfreyhowatchin must be american

  • That freaky demon thing that appears around 4:50 reminds me of Missy Elliot...

    Not being flippant. The whole thing is brilliant. Amazing movements. I don't understand what it all means, so I can't pretend to have a deep appreciation, but it was hypnotic and impressive, and it put me in the state I think it was intending to.

  • They look like they feel ridiculous, trying not to laugh. The first dancer to appear, especially.

  • Indonesia has many traditional and unique dances, this Balinese dance is one of them. :)

  • @jocelynmmlkuntz The Balinese interpretation of what dance is responsible for portraying is much more clearly stated as transmitting the message of "mother nature" than simply their display of "culture"--which to me is a condescending and limited word for what art is responsible for communicating. I make this claim because I am currently studying Balinese dance and using actual masks from Bali.

  • The first dance may be the butterfly dance created by Ibu Agung Arini from Sibang, Bali which was inspired by an ancient myth. The second dance is a male/female bumblebee dance. The third is a Topeng mask dance. Correct me if I am wrong..

  • I love Bali dance!!! thanks for sharing

  • @kadeksuparta thx for the last one, "jauk keras" i was looking for this one for a long time

  • Wow, this is so good it just blows my mind! This is so beautiful, mother nature would be totally pleased. The guy at the end is frikken scary though :) .

  • Beautyful!
