Barong dance is one of the original dances in Bali and finds its origin in the ancient of Balinese mythology. The dance represented by a prominent character of a lion, regarded as the king of the spirits who represents the good spirit. The movements of the dance are closely associated with the rhythms produced by the Gamelan, a musical ensemble specific to Bali and Java.
Another beautiful Balinese dance that performed to accompany the dinner is Kecak dance. The dance uses no artificial backdrop and no musical instruments for almost the whole performance. The Kecak is simply accompanied by the chanting of the chorus of men representing a continuously intoning “Cak! Cak! Cak!” in polyrhythmic sound. The dance performed by more than dozen dancers and has correlation with the Balinese beliefs, where the religion of Hinduism developed the story of Ramayana.
