The Legong has its roots as a sacred dance. I think this is what the dancer was referring to. There are many different types of Legong and this one happens to tell the story of Kuntul birds (herons). I can't post URLs but google "kuntul" and take a look at the Indonesian Wikipedia entry.
One of my favourite Legong dances. It's a shame that the dancers are not that qualified. They're not dancing in sync with each other either. But thanks for posting. ^^
elibris, you say legong kuntul is about birds, i was told (by a balinese dancer) it was a temple dance for thanking the gods. How come you say it is about birds?

Elibris was right, kuntul is herons (a kind of bird).
Dance "Legong Kuntul" describe some herons who enjoy the good moment together...
