gambuh dance
available twice a month at ubud temples
while in bali, make it a point to watch any of the local dances and performance as possible, especially here in ubud villages, just 5 to 10 minutes drive fro our hotel. each day there are perforance at temple that are open to public.
dances and dramatic performances form an important part of nearly every ritual on bali. they are seen as an integral part of balinese religion and culture and are employed as an expression of one's devotion to the gods as well as a means of instilling centuries-old values in each new generation of balinese, through the medium movement, music and words. .
there broods over balinese dance an ancestral shade; every dance-form, one is often told, is ultimately derived from gamboeh; all dance-technique originates in its movements, all scales and melodies from its peculiar gamelan music.
