DESCRIPTION
Legong Dance or just ‘Legong’ for short is one of Bali’s most visually alluring royal court performances. The dance is considered one of the island’s most revered classical pieces, known for its physically demanding postures and fast-paced movements which require a significant level of flexibility among its generally young female performers. Choreographed to a set pattern with the finest detail, the dance has been well-preserved through generations.
Locals refer to the Legong Dance by its complete designation – ‘Legong Kraton’ – which loosely translates as the ‘dance of the royal palace’. It used to only be shown within closed palace walls in front of the royal family. Through the change of times, you can watch it performed at various open stages and shows throughout the island, such as at the Puri Saren Royal Palace, a palatial landmark in Ubud Central, which is open to the public. Most of Bali tour packages include this show on their itinerary.
