Tari Bali Dance: The Pursuit of Universal Balance
The main idea of tari Bali, or Bali dance, is to maintain balance in life. Balinese dance reflects a proper balance between the physical and mental, between men and women, and between spiritual and physical senses. Since Indonesia gained independence, a variety of dance creations have been developed, though still based on traditional values. There are three general types of Balinese dance: Wali, or or sacred dance; Bebali, derived from Indonesian classic dances such as the Ramayana Ballet; and Balih-Balihan, a dance performed both within and outside temples for entertainment.
