Kecak Dance

About this tour

Kecak Dance is a vibrant traditional Balinese dance form, deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the island. Accompanied by a unique chorus of male voices rather than traditional instruments, this performance narrates the epic Ramayana story, particularly focusing on the dramatic battle scenes involving the character Hanuman, the monkey god. Developed in the 1930s in Bali, this dance was collaboratively crafted with the assistance of a choir comprising over a hundred local men, blending spiritual chants with theatrical movements to create a mesmerizing spectacle that reflects Bali’s rich artistic traditions.
