" Balinese Dance The antithesis of Balinese mellow is Balinese dance. It's amazing how people who relish lounging in bales (open-sided pavilions) can also produce art that demands methodical precision. A performer of the Legong, the most beautiful dance, spends years learning minutely choreographed movements from her eyeballs to her toes. Each movement has a meaning and the language flows with a grace that is hypnotic. Clad in silk and ikat, the dancers tell stories rich with the very essence of Balinese Hindu beliefs and lore. Every night there are multiple shows in Ubud. "
