The Art of Kecak Dance Comes from the island of Bali

 Dance art originating from Bali. The art of this kecak dance is performed by tens of male dancers sitting in a row with a circular pattern and a certain rhythm calling for "cak cak cak" and raising both arms.


In the book by Resi Septiana Dewi, entitled "Tarian Nusantara", (in Indonesian) in dancing the Kecak dance the dancers sit in a circle and wear Balinese clothes without wearing clothes with a checkered pattern like a chessboard placed on the waist. Some dancers also play previous characters such as Rama, Shinta, Ravana to Hanoman.

In general, the Kecak dance is played by 50 male dancers. All of the dancers will make a "cak" sound to form a cappella music. One person will act as a leader who provides the initial tone, another person acts as a suppressor who is in charge of providing high or low tone pressure and another person acts as a puppeteer who delivers the storyline.

The usual location for watching the Kecak dance can be done in several locations. However, one of them is Pura Luhur Uluwatu and also Garuda Wisnu Kencana and is done usually in the afternoon with the beauty of Sunset
