History Of The Balinese Dance

In the 14th century, the defeat of Bali by Majapahit led to the creation of mini-principalities and courts. As a result a blend of Javanese court and peasant culture was created in Bali. The present day accompanying narrative for dance and drama is to a large extent based on court stories from pre-Majapahit Java.

About Bali

Bali boasts lush garden forests, beautiful beaches and incredible rice paddies spilling down the sides of dramatic mountains – and so much more. It has a strong Hindu spiritual life, with more than 20,000 temples, and a rich culture of dancing, music, art, architecture, and festivals. A trip around the island is highly recommended. Most villages are around half a day away by road, so it is worthwhile hiring a car, jeep or moped, or arranging a rate for a private cab..
