More Balinese dance


 Balinese dance is not limited to women. The men also have an important role to play, such as this silly dragon. He was being goaded on by a naughty monkey.


These men were courtiers to the king. By royal decree - you've got to keep your smile up.


And you can't forget the musicians. The music is very special, an integral part of the spectacle. Photos taken in December 2016.
