The beauty of the Balinese dance lies in the complexity of the gestures of fingers, hands, head, feet and eyes. The Balinese dances are extremely dynamic, angular and intensely expressive, all the movements are very elegant. Most of the dances are accompanied by a rich storyline

The photo I set in honor to the young girl Gek Adii (16), as she was dancing at the festival celebrated in her village Sembung one day before Nyepi.
The condition for this capture was very difficult, too far, too dark and the dancing moving to fast. But here i follow my promise to do my best and post this photo.
The dance shows a scene of the most significant deities and one of the three main gods in Hinduism. Vishnu is the preserver god, which means he protects the earth from being destroyed and keeps it going, according to this religion, and he has come to earth in nine forms (called avatars) so far, with one yet to come.

The neighboring man in Sembung dressed in Rakshasa costume is showing his performance in front of an audience of hundreds local spectators, a scene out from the Hindu mythology.
The story says that Rakshasas were created from the breath of Brahma when he was asleep at the end of the Satya Yuga. As soon as they were created, they were so filled with bloodlust that they started eating Brahma himself. Brahma shouted "Rakshama!" (Sanskrit for "protect me!") and Vishnu came to his aid, banishing to Earth all Rakshasas (thus named after Brahma's cry for help).

Kecak dancers

nobody@ipernity.com (Wolfgang) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:12:55 +0000

Wolfgang has posted:

Kecak is a form of Balinese music drama, originated in the 1930s and is performed primarily by men. Also known as the Ramayana Monkey Chant, the piece, performed by a circle of 100 or more performers wearing checked cloth around their waists, percussively chanting "cak" and throwing up their arms, depicts a battle from the Ramayana where monkeys help Prince Rama fight the evil King Ravana.
However, Kecak has roots in sanghyang, a trance-inducing exorcism dance.
