Now I would like to share a information about one of thousand magnificent in Bali Island. That is Balinese Dance. I think every people who have been visited Bali know about some of Balinese Dances.

Balinese Dance not always according a story, but the main purpose of Balinese Dance is to to show the philosophy of the Dance fully with expression, because of that some people said that Balinese Dance has a unique way to transfer the meaning of the Dance. from many references that I read Balinese Dance categorizes to be 3 main group that is Wali dance, Bebali Dance and Balihan-Balihan Dance that each of the group categorizes has differences philosophy inside the dance.
