Kecak Dance Ritual

This is performance art and is not accompanied by musical instruments or gamelan. However, it was only accompanied by a choir of around 70 male dancers lined up in circles using checkered cloth.

But Kecak Dance comes from sanghyang ritual, which is a dance tradition in which dancers will be in a subconscious state, and communicate with God or their ancestral spirits and then convey their hopes to the community.

According to historical sources, the Kecak Dance was created in 1930 by Balinese artists named Wayan Limbak and Walter Spies, a painter from Germany. This dance is inspired by sanghyang rituals and part of the story of the Ramayana legend.
