Shortly the dance represents the eternal fight between goodness and badness. Barong is the magical protector of Balinese village. As ”Lord of the forest” with fantastic fanged mask and long mane, he is the opponent of Rangda, the female witch, who rules over the spirit of darkness, in never ending fight good and evil. Ultimately, the two characters engage in battle, at which point the Barong's keris-bearing followers rush in to attack Rangda. The witch, however, uses her magical power to turn the keris knives in upon their owners, who fall into a trance and start trying to stab themselves. The Barong uses magical to protect his followers from the knives. There is always a priest on hand to help the keris dance out of their trance with holywater. This dance is very powerful performance and is not taken lightly by those involved.
The legong dance is perhaps the most graceful of Balinese dance. It is performed only by young girl 8 - 12 years olds (after reaching puberty, the girls usually stop performing this dance). Months of training are needed to master the perfect mix of posture, movement and mimicry. Three dancers in glittering costumes usually perform the dance, one condong lady in waiting and two princesses whose roles change according to the narative. The ancient legong used to have a storyteller's accompaniment, but these days they are only dance performance.
Kecak integrates both dance and drama, but ultimately the artistic beauty of Kecak lies in its intricate vocal chanting. The complex and multi layer sounds of “Cak Cak Cak” chanted by the chorus into various rhythmic patterns are at once the essence and soul of Kecak. The secular kecak emerged during the Dutch occupation in Bali. There are two different versions of the creativity of Kecak.The first states the secular Kecak was originally created in Bedahulu, Gianyar through the joint effort of the German born artist Walter Spiesand the people of Bedulu. The second version state that secular Kecak was inspired by emotion and dramatic intensity the ritual Kecak chorus he saw in local performance of Shanghyang Dedari. In 1932, Spies was consultant for a German film company producing a movie in Bali called “The Island of Demons”. The story is Ramayana from the Indian epic. Now a day, Kecak dance perform throughout the island.
