Traditional Balinese music is very melodic, and the Balinese dancers very graceful. I visited Bali many years ago with my husband and remember being greeted in the hotel lobby by a dance troupe as we checked in and were offered hot face towels and a chilled glass of tropical fruit juice…hospitality Balinese style!
Dance is very important in Balinese culture so I thought we’d take a look at some of the different dances from this fascinating Indonesian Island…the only one in this vastly populous Muslim country which is majority Hindu.
So hand movements are really important.
Colourful.
Yes…the hands are very important in Balinese dance.
