This dance is called the Taruna Jaya ("Victorious Youth") and is traditionally performed by girls around this age. I studied Balinese dance in college and on the island itself learning directly from the Balinese people, and they tell you that this is one of the most technically difficult of all the Balinese dances. Not just the length, but the stage presence, the balance energy being displayed ("keras"- strong, and "manis"- soft), the exact timing and power of the *seledets* (the darting eye movements), and the precision of the fan work. This dancer here is absolutely stunning and must have worked so hard for so many years. 🔥😭🌺 Also the orchestra she is dancing with is called the Gamelan. (PS: everything I am stating here was directly taught to me from several Balinese dancers in Bali. Their culture is so beautiful, and I'm just sharing what I learned. 💖)
@@eneleh01 yes. ,,♥️. And watch ..if yu like. :' pencak silat ganda putri bali 🙏. I hope yu like. ,,Thats my past. ... When i was young. 🙏🙏. I,m sorry. Its:' pencak silat ganda putri ay. I need to search it up. Wait... Pencak silat jatuhan terbang putri bali. ..pfff,. I,m. So sorrey. I,m tired. But. I,love to. Give yu that video...,. No worries🌠♥️
I am half Indonesian, I’ve learnt traditional dance in my primary school days… you never forget how gruelling the training can be. The music of gamelan is intriguing, you’re almost in a trance… Now I’m in my fifties, and my heart raced when I watched the performance. I can only imagine how much work and practice to perfect this - both by the beautiful dancer and talented musicians.
Wow... talk about a commanding stage presence. Mesmerizing dance. I kept trying to remember to watch her foot, leg and hand movements but she holds you with the intensity of her eyes. But my God...am I the only one who immediately noticed how far back she curves her fingers (and toes)?! That is absolutely stunning. I had to stop the video several times just to check out her fingers and hand movements. Never seen anything like it. Had me thinking this girl comes from a lineage of female Balinese dancers. She uses every single part of her body to convey the dance. No movement wasted. Incredible. And the musicians kept it on point. Amazing performance all around. Much love from America!
I sure noticed!! Those fingers were curved and the toes were pointing to heaven! Her movements reminded me of a mechanical snake or a mechanical you. It's hard to put into words. But it's mesmerizing.
I would imagine that she is able to do the curving back of her fingers, due to the fact that she probably began training at a very young age...particularly training the fingers and tendons of the hand to relax...and become more flexible over time.. much the same way acrobats etc train from a young age.
Raja opened my curiosity about Balinese dance and saw this video.. the Dancer is dancing from head to toe, the movements are so intricate but still very graceful.. so mesmerizing
@@inekeblom7138 nope, they talking about Ru Paul Drag Race contestant. He was performing Balinese dance. A lot of people amazed by the culture because of him ❤️
Just tried watch it live. Sometimes their artistic movement & emotional expression will bring a goosebump to an audience. I can talk it to you because i have experience it by myself.
There were these people who came to my school to teach us some things and kids who were in this thing called Kpac got to participate. Kpac was basically an afterschool program where you learned about theatre and get to be in a play. I was in the Kpac so I got to do it. They were teaching us about shadow puppets and some dances kind of like this but easier. It hurt a lot though, one of the teachers said that it can be like that when you first try to do it. It was pretty neat. They came to my school yesterday and today and it was quite the experience.
im not a Indonesian but my family is and i tried this dance it was extremely hard so i have lots of respect for this teenage girl dancing so graciously!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think teruna jaya means celebration of (or by) unmarried men. The term does not apply to female teenagers. I'm still identify this type of dance though: It is perhaps one of the recent forms of Legong dance, a genre derived from the old exorcistic form called Sanghyang
@Jacky Phantom it's local customaries of agabali (the indigenous of the island) mixed with exiled Hinduism & Buddhism of Java island... & ofc Hinduism came from india but the king of java used to costumize it with local attitudes, but later they got conquered by demak sultanate. It's quite complicated historical influences tho to be certainly accurate that made the presentday Balinese cultures 😅🙏
Very skilled dancing. Love the gamelan orchestra, too. Takes a lot practise to get it all correct. I was teaching English at a university once for a group of Indonesian students and the performed a show like this for me to enjoy at the end of the course, son with their ethnic cusine and it was really mind blowing to see this type of dancing and music live, in all their special dance costumes etc.
Gosh this is so beautiful, not just the dance but the music. The more I discover about Balinese culture these past months, the more I'm falling in love with it. Next travel destination I'm starting to think
I have watched Balinese dancing in person several times in Ubud. It is truly awe-inspiring and fascinating! The combination of the Gamelan orchestra with the dance is truly unique and creates an 'other-worldly' atmosphere and vibe which transports the viewer to a magical realm! This is a truly masterful performance from both the dancer and the orchestra! Thank you Bali🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🦋
Bali is one of many provinces in Indonesia that still stick to tradition even though Bali is already famous in International. That's why I'm so proud of them 😊 cause many youngsters these days dont appreciate traditions 😳.
Must have watched this almost ten times, and will probably do more. Can't catch the nuances of her movement and synchrony with the gamelon in just one viewing. I'll probably never tire of viewing this video down through the years. There is always something new I see with every viewing. It's pure classic skill and artistry!!
i'm having vacation at ubud, and i saw this kind performance yesterday DANG!. i got goosebumps all over me. the performance was sooo amazing and beautiful. i felt like i was in ancient time or something. 😍
this is amazing and i love that so many people in the comments love watching these traditional dances because im indonesian and a performer thanks for all your support you guys it makes me happy that you love indonesia's traditional dances :)
So powerful and emotional. There is just only one dancer but it's really enchanted I can'y stop looking at this amazing performance (except that cute dog hahaha)
Very pretty, nice, fascinating. I myself have a background in classical Indian dance, and find classical Balinese dance amazing. So great to see a wonderful tradition well preserved and practiced by skilled artists.
@@bluesarmy9554 Awesome, I'd love to learn more. Are you Balinese? I have read about Bali but have yet to visit. I am quite sure I will love it there and be respectful of local traditions, myself coming from a Hindu culture.
ShararatSharara namaste Yes I’m Balinese I’m Hindu aswell The Balinese Hindu brought by Rsi from India But when u see Balinese Hindu u will be surprised Because it’s not same as Indian Hindu
@@bluesarmy9554 yes, I was aware Bali Hindu is not same as Indian Hindu that is why I find it more beautiful and fascinating. I have read little bit about your beautiful culture and traditions in books, but I am waiting for the day I can visit first hand. I love all my fellow Hindus anywhere in the world.
Im from bali n i like truna jaya dance I've ever seen a little child is dancing truna jaya on a ceremony in my temple,really amazing almost make me cry Im sorry for my poor english
As an amateur dancer myself, I can just IMAGINE the training that took...not to mention that...those type of very precise rigid motions would (I imagine) require lots of relaxation and stretching both before and after the dancing. Not to mention that...she did this for an entire ten minutes...a solo performance...which meant that all eyes were on her, and only her. That makes her performance all the more unbelievable, as it meant that she could not 'relax' for one minute or hope that any other dancers on that same stage might help to 'distract' from her. All the while moving her overall body, she had to manage the fan, and even 'dance/act' with her eyes.
I love the mixture of eerie puppetry vibe and epic drama conveyed by this dance, something spiritual, supernatural, godly and demonic at the same time ... its fascinating what the human imagination can come up with ...
In the old days, Balinese dancers were not only trained but when performing for Hindu/religion ceremony, they TRANCE. Sometimes I just sad now in modern era they perform for tourist. That being said, she is really good and captivating!
I assume that you got the point from your camera angle. Balinese dance moves all of the body's part over in arranging the movement. each movement has a special name/term. it consists of the movement from toe to head, i can say that these differentiate Balinese dance to other traditional dance..but hey, Thankyou so much for uploading and spreading my culture. i love to know every culture from all over the world..
it must took quite some time to learn this. in my dance school, i won't encounter this dance till another four years, and i've been learning for 3 and a half years
Can you tell me more about your dance school and tradition? Are you Balinese? Is your classical dance also related to the Hindu religion? Do you dance in a margam format which is repertoire that takes about 8 years to learn? Because that is the format in our classical Indian dances. I also was learning for a few years but did not reach the most advanced items. Thanks for sharing, I love Bali.
@@PeachyMushroom Hi! I just read your comment haha. Yes I am Balinese. Our classical dances are also related to Hindu religion, such as Siva Nataraja dance, Rejang Deva dance, and some others. I don't know what margam format is, so I think I'll have to learn more about that. Here, the dance schools usually start with simpler traditional dances first, then move up to more complex ones with storylines. All Balinese traditional dances, even the most basic ones, move all parts of the body. Legs, arms, head & neck, face, even fingers and toes. Its just that the most basic ones are the ones with the least variations of movements.
@@Ayu20001 hi, thanks for replying. I am always happy to discuss dance with dancers from other cultures. Especially regarding Indian classical and Balinese classical have similar Hindu roots. Keep up with your learning, it's a fantastic opportunity!! Sorry, margam is a Sanskrit word used to describe the format/repertoire for Indian classical. I'm sure your school uses different terms.
@@PeachyMushroom Ah, I see! Balinese dances are divided by its functions. There are three of them: Wali, Bebali, and Balih-Balihan. Wali consists of sacral dances used in religious ceremonies. Bebali consists of supplementary dances that are usually also present in ceremonies but not part of the ceremony itself. Balih-Balihan consists of dances with entertainment purposes, but tell tales of folklore with certain values. I don't think we have anything like margam. We have several repertoires that are part of Balih-Balihan dances. Does my explanation makes sense? Feel free to ask again, I'll be happy to reply! Also, can you explain the margam to me? I'm quite curious ehe
You can REALLY see the influence of South Indian dance generally and hand , foot and eye movements in this dance. India's cultural legacy in all of South Asia is Immense. Beautifully executed and carried on by the peoples of Indonesia, Malaysia especially. BEAUTIFUL performance.
Nope, I can't see even a slight similarly with indian culture, different music instrument, different clothing, different music etc, indonesian Hinduism is very very different than your Hinduism, hindu here in Indonesia (balinese and javanese) eat beef and all kind of meat and there is no caste system like your country.
@@worthlessopinion6594 first of all, beef has nothing to do with dance. Even in India, Hindus of some provinces eat beef, Bali is not special that way. Second, the original commenter said 'South Indian INFLUENCE', key word is 'influence', and that is true. I am Indonesian and even I know this. According to the 'Natyasastra' portion of Wedas, dance has to have rasa (emotions), which Balinese dance follows too. The hand movements are called 'mudras' which are inspired from Hindu God Siwa. Balinese dance is Indonesian, but it has Indian influence, there is nothing wrong in saying this. Bali doesn't become India if it accepts it's true cultural heritage to India. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (seluruh dunia adalah satu keluarga) is a value that comes from Indian influence on Bali only. So stop being insecure. Learn from Indonesian Muslims who never feel insecure despite following Arabic religion.
This is astonishing to watch. I have many Indonesia friends and they have told me how good this is and they’re not wrong. Terima kasih for posting this.
I like balinese culture, esepcially bali dance and gamelan... When i hear gamelan sound i remember my granpa house in java island. My granpa alike to listen javanese gamelan and balinese gamelan in midnight until morning.i can hearing gamelan sound when i wake up in morning. Cuz my granpa's house Joglo (traditional house)
That's beautiful... Just wondering how one can raise all fingers up this way ? Hope she did not have to break them all ! ( she is mostly mote flexible than me ... 😊 ) Strange too to see somenone dancing with all toes raised up !...
Not acrobatic dance, but It has a kind of sophisticated structure. She makes these very small sharp controlled moves particularly in arms and wrists, often synchronising her head movement, while doing these body vibrations. This channels expression into a very distinctive, Balinese style. Enchanting
WOW this dance is very fascinating. That girl is sooo in control of her body movements. I wonder at what age they start to learn to dance. Beautiful just Beautiful ❤️😍

@@vayoha02 only Indonesian people can do that, their hands are already shaped that way
It's good to see that there are still young people in Indonesia who maintain a traditional culture.
Its a must for every balinese to master at least a gamelan or dance.
yes my fathers family lives still there my grandmother and father ,, so amazing and wonderful are the people and the culture xx
In all the islands of Indonesia (3000 inhabited out of 17.000) the culture is still present, eventhough the very youngsters all carry smart phones !
it is beautiful these youth are heroes
@Wing Commander its happening across asia.

Love from India....One of the best performance I saw on UA-cam. Her timing, expressions were impeccable.
Yes exactly
ウブド王宮ですかね、昨年見てきました。素晴らしかった。
We have seen last year.
It was such a great show that it's totally worth travelling all the way here!
thank you Raja from Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 7 for introducing me to this art form
It's "Teruna Jaya" dance. The dance about a teenager who starts to grow up, so that's why the dance full of emotional.
Yes. Her face shows another emotion every 2 seconds! Talk about moodswings…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think teruna jaya means celebration of (or by) unmarried men. The term does not apply to female teenagers. I'm still identify this type of dance though: It is perhaps one of the recent forms of Legong dance, a genre derived from the old exorcistic form called Sanghyang
I rectify: It is a Kebyar Duduk dance, most probably.
@Jacky Phantom Hinduism is a religion and is not exempt to India alone as is evident in Bali

the best teruna jaya dancer so far. the movement, the facial expression...i watch this several times
same
I recommend the Teruna Jaya dance with better technique and expression. ua-cam.com/video/olRRHI0cuLk/v-deo.htmlsi=9CwUB2qsoGuk3wyD
she dances with eyes, expressions and fingers... amazingly precise sense of rhythm!
How can you not love this?
The music and the dance seem very hypnotic. Her facial expressions as her hand and feet movements are memorizing and beautiful.
Itu bukan jatuh, memang tariannya seperti itu.
Heavenly!!!! Goddess!!! Music sounds like Heaven!!!
Added to bucket list!!!

Did you know that this gamelan music is officially the most complex form of music in the world?
@@justinfilipovic8939 That's quite noticeable, it's very complex so many people playing at the same time and in perfect rythym
Excellent. she is one of the best dancers I have ever seen.
Her ability to bend her fingers backwards was astonishing. And her rapid fine movements and changes of expression. A bizarre but graceful dance
Bizarre to us . They probably think us doing the boogaloo looks weird .
Most mesmerizing dance ever seen. I can't take my eyes off her devilish movement Salute!

Second, the original commenter said 'South Indian INFLUENCE', key word is 'influence', and that is true. I am Indonesian and even I know this. According to the 'Natyasastra' portion of Wedas, dance has to have rasa (emotions), which Balinese dance follows too. The hand movements are called 'mudras' which are inspired from Hindu God Siwa. Balinese dance is Indonesian, but it has Indian influence, there is nothing wrong in saying this. Bali doesn't become India if it accepts it's true cultural heritage to India. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (seluruh dunia adalah satu keluarga) is a value that comes from Indian influence on Bali only. So stop being insecure. Learn from Indonesian Muslims who never feel insecure despite following Arabic religion.
@@worthlessopinion6594 I am hindu from Nepal and we hindu are different but 1. Not like muslism who kill each other in the name of shia sunna Ahamadi
beautiful, and i love the little dog walking about
Raja got me this suggested to me
This is a masterful performace, by both dancer and band.
God! The precision of the dancer’s moves with her eyes and body!!! Awesome!! 😦😦😦
Wow i'm unable to grab the rhythm and the dancer's movements and gestures wonderful
Amazing! All the glory of the Goddess manifested in a dance form. What control of hands, feet,eyes, expressions!
this has to be the best i've seen in my life
This is astonishing to watch. I have many Indonesia friends and they have told me how good this is and they’re not wrong. Terima kasih for posting this.
A lifetime of dedication is revealed on that stage. Spectacular!
I love this. I would not be able to dance to that music, she makes it look so good.
Wow! The eyes are part of the dance. I don't think she blinked once. That was beautiful, I enjoyed it.
I think there are areas where she can discreetly blink.
I am from India . I love Indonesian and balian culture . I found some similarities between Indian and Indonesian culture . Love this dance form .
breathtaking! If she sticks with it, she'll be unearthly by age 25!
Fantastic! I honestly want to give these people my next pay check.
Lovely! Bali is a holy place, I hear. All the ley lines cross there!
Hope this don't disappear...Should be represented as world heritage.
It won't.. as long as the Balinese is still being Hindu.
@RG F2796 specifically?
@RG F2796 hmm... I wonder🤔
As an artist, this girl absolutely demands to be taken seriously and you can’t help but to do so. Brava!
Came here after seeing Raja.
Absolutely amazing. The meaning behind the dance makes it even better
I am so absolutely obsessed with this art form. The dance, the Music, the fashion!
Cambodia wished to invite her to perform in our schools throughout the country....;))))
I got chills and I teared up watching her. Stunningly beautiful.
The dog walking into the scene remained calm as if he thought, '... oh, she's dancing again, okay, nothing new ...'
I like balinese culture, esepcially bali dance and gamelan... When i hear gamelan sound i remember my granpa house in java island. My granpa alike to listen javanese gamelan and balinese gamelan in midnight until morning.i can hearing gamelan sound when i wake up in morning. Cuz my granpa's house Joglo (traditional house)
Какая прекрасная зарядка для глаз, ну и для всего тела)
That's beautiful...
Just wondering how one can raise all fingers up this way ?
Hope she did not have to break them all ! ( she is mostly mote flexible than me ... 😊 )
Strange too to see somenone dancing with all toes raised up !...
Not acrobatic dance, but It has a kind of sophisticated structure. She makes these very small sharp controlled moves particularly in arms and wrists, often synchronising her head movement, while doing these body vibrations. This channels expression into a very distinctive, Balinese style. Enchanting
Raja sent me! 🥰
Superb you have to be there to fell the solemnity of paradise mystical Bali
What an amazing performance! BRAVO!!! =)
Raja brought me here 💖
WOW this dance is very fascinating. That girl is sooo in control of her body movements. I wonder at what age they start to learn to dance. Beautiful just Beautiful ❤️😍

Bravo....!!!! You humble me...I bow to you...!!!!!
