One of the riches of Indonesia that should not be missed when traveling here are the traditional dances. Each region has its own dances, and they carry their own meanings. In Bali alone, there are numerous dances. UNESCO recognizes three genres of traditional dance in Bali, Indonesia, as intangible cultural heritage. These three genres include Wali (sacred dances), Bebali (semi-sacred dances), and Balih-balihan (dances for entertainment purposes). You can witness these dances in temples or during special occasions. However, since Bali is a popular tourist destination, you can also enjoy these dances while dining. We have compiled a list of places where you can dine and experience these traditional dances.
