Details
Balinese dancers learn dance since they are children. Even when still in the womb, their parents will play Balinese music to make they are used to it. They are taught to dance with their hands before they can walk. Official training as a Balinese dancer starts at the age of 7. In Balinese dance this movement is closely related to the rhythm produced by gamelan, musical ensembles specifically for Java and Bali. Multiple levels of articulations in the face, eyes, hands, arms, hips, and feet are coordinated to reflect layers of percussive sounds.
