LEGONG DANCER

LEGONG DANCER
The island of Bali probably has more traditional dances per square mile than any other real estate in the world. Some are solemn and graceful, while others border on slapstick. The town of Ubud is particular famous as a center of dance performances. Whether its a performance for tourists or a spectacle at a temple ceremony, you're pretty much guaranteed access to a dance performance every day in central Bali.
Legong dance is performed by three young girls, at first viewing, it seems pure, abstract dance. But, in fact, it's based on drama and follows a specific plot-a story of love and war, sex, the promise of it, and death, the inevitable threat.
