Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

Dancers in warrior costume hold hands and move in a
ring counter-clockwise, all chanting together, the circle
shrinking and expanding as if breathing. Then the tempo
accelerates and the men begin to shout rhythmically,
leaping frog-like high into the air and performing mock
fights and armed combat dances with their spears. Then
the mock battlefield dissolves in utter confusion, just
like after a real battle. The Headhunter's Dance is
an eerie dance-song with the rattling hypnotizing sound
of shields. Niah female dancing is incredibly slow by
western standards (5 seconds for a foot to touch the
pavement each time), two files of women moving with
down-cast eyes and completely immobile faces. They wear
primary colors red, yellow, gold and black; those colors
seen against expanses of gray stone make a fantastic
total effect. Sometimes dances take place on large mushroom-shaped
tables which act as the stage for the dance. Wearing
long scarves and ear ornaments that look like bracelets,
the older women are the most accomplished dancers. See
the Dance of the Hawk, with its skipping, rotating,
hovering movements. Then the women dance as cats, coiling
and springing and clawing at each other.
