Century Old Kecak Dance – RY Marketplace

Description

This trip will take you to the Central part of Bali where the presence of traditional Balinese way of living can still be witnessed. We will travel to a village where we have arranged a private Kecak performance and dinner. Kecak Dance itself was created with the Sacred Sanghyang dance in mind as the inspiration. In the traditional performance of Sanghyang dance, the dancers are usually on trance condition – possessed by spirits who interact with the ancestors or gods. The dancers are the medium used to convey His words.

Let’s be real – no one can control the weather, and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But don’t worry, your City Manager is here to help and will do their best to come up with a solution if an event is affected. We understand that everyone’s schedule is different, so while we can’t guarantee a make-up option will work for everyone, we promise to try our hardest. If you’re unable to attend the make-up date, no problem – we’ll give you a full refund for your booking.
