This is the traditional form of Balinese dance ballet. The stories are from Ramayana. I have had the fortune seeing these dancers live. I noticed that their style is very closer to Manipuri, Kathakali and Bharatnatyam. The postures of the dancers is very close to Tri-bhangi , as seen in Odissi. It is fun to see a little glimpses of our classical dance and culture so far away from home. These dancer are so very graceful and beautiful to watch. It really strikes you how far the Indian culture of dance and music has its influences. That my view whats yours?
