Bali Dance
Music, Dance and Drama are closely related in Bali. In fact, dance and drama are synonymous, though some ‘dance’ are more drama and less dance, and others more dance and less drama.
Balinese dance tends to be precise, shifting and jerky, like the accompanying gamelan music, which has abrupt shifts of tempo and dramatic changes between silence and crashing noise. There’s virtually no physical contact in Balinese dancing-each dancer moves independently, but every movement of wrist, hand and finger is important. Even facial expressions are carefully choreographed to convey the character of the dance.
