Bali Legon Dance

Some pictures of Legon Dance performance at Royal Palace Temple in Ubud, Bali:




This performance is really a series of modified & shortened traditional dances.


Balinese dance and accompanying Gambolin music is characterized by quick jerky disconnected head & eye movements and stylized slower walking like dance steps.


I bought my ticket from one of the young ticket hawkers so he could make a small commission (my price is same as at the gate).

Sounds like my kind of dancing. Looks like interesting festival. Their dresses are so elaborate. I wonder if they are passed down for many generations? Keep having fun, contribution and adventure. Have a great fruit eating day James.

James,
Bet the colors and costums are beautiful. I know you are having a great time watching the ladies.
Love,
