Close your eyes and imagine a view so romantic that it transcends anything you could possibly find in your wildest dreams. You are surrounded by the cliff sides of the holy Uluwatu Temple. The violet hues of the night sky cast a magical glow on the island right after the warm setting of the sun
History
One of the most popular Balinese Dance performances is the Kecak Fire and Trance dance. There is something thoroughly captivating about this dance ritual that makes it a must-see for those visiting Bali. In the olden days of the Bali Empire, the dance was only to be performed and watched during special instances for which it called for but it later morphed into something holidaymakers could appreciate and enjoy.
Accommodation
The best part about this dance is that it has made its way into almost every villa in Uluwatu. An excellent place to enjoy the authentic Kecak dance is at the Alila Villas Uluwatu.
The dance begins
What makes Tari Kecak so unique is that the dance performance is not accompanied by any music or gamelan (percussion) instrument as such but is simply a chorus of close to seventy men or so in traditional costume.
Magical elements
The beautiful natural landscape and gorgeous sunsets are the perfect teams in bringing out the magic of the dance and the religious sentiments that fill the air around this holy land. This can be something like a cleansing experience that never fails to deliver no matter how many times this alluring place brings you back.
