Kebyar DancerLegong Dance originates from the Balinese courts. This dance tells of the story of a prince who wants a princess who already has a love. He stills pursues her, only to die in battle fighting for her. My favorite part of this piece is actually the prelude dance called Kebyar Duduk or Taruna Jaya. This contemporary dance from North Bali depicts the feelings and undertakings of adolescence of a young boy (but it is danced by a woman). The fast, precise movement shows such strength and energy and yet there is a sense of anxiety, fear and anticipation in the movement that comes with being young and beginning one’s life journey.
