Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Bali

Kecak dance is a dance art originating from Bali. This Kecak dance art is performed by dozens of male dancers who sit in a row in a circular pattern and with a certain rhythm call "cak, cak, cak" and raise both arms.
In the 1930s, a Balinese artist named Wayan Limbak and a German painter named Walter Spies created the Kecak dance. This dance was inspired by traditional rituals performed by the Balinese people which was later adapted in the Ramayana story in Hindu beliefs to be exhibited as an art performance when tourists come to Bali.
Kecak dance is a Shangyang ritual or a tradition of rejecting reinforcements with the Ramayana story embedded in it. The Kecak dance tells about the search for Empress Shinta, King Rama, assisted by Hanoman. Hanuman then ravaged the place where Empress Shinta was being held by setting it on fire. However, Hanuman was actually surrounded by Raja and Ravana's soldiers and almost burned.
Watching the Kecak dance can be done in several locations. One of them is the Luhur Uluwatu Temple, as shown in this video. Enjoy and hopefully entertained Jro ...
