BALINESE DANCE-CHARM OF TOURISM IN BALI (classification paragraph)
Bali is the morning of the world. Almost in every tag line of Tourism in Bali uses these words. What are actually things that make Bali as the morning of the world? It may be caused by many reasons but I guess these must be one strong reason-Bali is rich of its culture. In every corner of Bali there is a unique culture of Balinese. One of cultures that are the charm of Tourism in Bali is Balinese dance. You may know some of Balinese dances but actually there are only three major types of Balinese dances. Those are Wali, Bebali, and Balih-balihan.
The first type which is also the highest level of Balinese dance called as Wali dance. The word Wali comes from Balinese language which means sacred. From that word we know that this is a kind of dance which can only be shown in particular places, time, and events especially sacred event. This dance is an essential dance in most of Hindu ceremonials in Bali. If this dance is not performed means that the ceremony does not finish yet or incomplete. Some of Wali dances are performed unconsciously. Therefore, the dancers will do it in any extreme way such as, walk on fire, eat the burned charcoal, jab themselves with keris, etc. It is such an horrifying thing, isn’t it? Nevertheless, when you watch it you may love it. Wali Dance also can be categorized into three major dances. Those are Baris, Rejang, and Sang Hyang. Sang Hyang dance is the most extreme in this type. The dancers always perform it unconsciously. They also may do some scared actions such as bathing with fire, walking on the broken glasses,etc. In Buleleng there is one type of Sang Hyang dance that is very famous named Sang Hyang Jaran. Please, do not forget to watch it. Meanwhile Rejang and Baris are performed consciously. We usually find it in a big ceremony, it is like Rejang Dewa, Rejang Onying, Baris Gede, Baris Jangkang, etc
Second type is Bebali. Kind of dances which have two function, as ceremonial dance and also amusing dance. This kind of dances can be performed or maybe not. Because there is no obligation for performing this kind of dance. It is very different from Wali that you must perform it. Bebali is usually performed in madya mandala (middle side) of a temple. It is because Bebali is seen less sacred than Wali dance. In some cases, Bebali also may be performed in utama mandala (inner side), if the dance has some sacred purposes. Balinese dances which can be categorized as Bebali are Gambuh, Topeng Pajegan, and Wayang Wong.
The last type is Balih-Balihan or well known as amusing dance. This kind of dance is fully for amusing purposes. Therefore, it will not be performed in each ceremony. It depends on the money allocation. On other hands, people who are rich may include this dance in their ceremony. This dance is usually performed in Nista mandala (the outer side). This is a tarsier type of dance, so you may not include this dance into your ceremony. Joged, arja, and drama gong are kinds of Balih-Balihan dance.
At last, we know that Balinese dance can be divided into three major types which each of the type has its own characteristics. By knowing these types we may be able to respect it well. Moreover, as youth it is good to know our own culture, therefore, we can appreciate it and also we will be able to preserve it. It is a charm that we have to keep its existence. Furthermore, by keeping it our tourism will also be saved.
