The Legong dance fits in with these royal surroundings – this dance was invented as a way to entertain royalty. This is also a good introduction to gamelan music, a type of percussive music that’s distinct to this part of the world. Seated musicians play on instruments made of brass or other metals.
Dancers train from a very young age, usually starting at around 4 or 5. The dance tells a story through a series of small gestures – every movement of the head and hands has a special meaning. Colorful costumes make this an especially memorable.
