: Legong This beautiful performing art is inspired by the dancing angels.
In early 19th century, a prince in Sukawati was in coma caused by his illness.
In his coma he saw nymphs dancing delicate dances in grace accompanied by beautiful
sound of music. Later after his health revival, together with some artist of
the village he transformed this dance into reality.
In Bali, not everyone have same understanding of the word “Legong”.
This is partly because of fact that it is a series of dances that combines into
it.
Up to now, at least there are 18 forms of Legong have been recorded.
Legong is a classical Balinese dance, the dancers starts dancing from the very
young age, traditionally selected among little girls in the village for their
suppleness and beauty.
They will go on dancing Legong until the age of puberty, before start learning
other dances.
