The next session after the
Holy Water Purifying, we continued our
Culture Dance Show at
Ubud -
The Barong and Keris Dance (S8.51051 E115.26473). The performing area is located not too far away from the restaurant
(Bebek Bengil) we going to have our dinner...
The ticket for the show is
IDR 80,000 that will be about
MYR28.00/USD8.80 per person.
We were there about 15 miutes earlier and we were fortunate enough to had our seats at the first row.
Group of men came out from the gate before the show start, and ther were the peoples who play the musical instruments.
Once the music started, the show began...

There was a story within the show, but too bad I wasn't understand it...and I can't even search it on the net...
According to
Wiki,
'The Barong is often portrayed with two monkeys'. Maybe the monkey below was one of them...

Then...group of women with the local culture dance...
Even I don't understand about the story behind, but we enjoyed the show very much! Especially their costumes...
Let me share some photos of the
Cultural Dance below...
And the photos is the

The show was ended after about an hour, we enjoyed it very much! And all of us also carving for food after the show...haha!
The show was worth watching and it's one of the
main attraction of Bali.
