Please be aware that this video was taken during the performance, by hand without tripod. Taken during my visit to Ubud -Bali in July 2023

I am not a videographer, but a photographer who occasionally takes video.

You will see four set pieces by the Chandra Mati Ladies Orchestra and Dance Troupe.
These dancers are starting training from the age of 3 years old. Learning the complex hand and eye movements in tandem with their body and feet.

It was a fantastic experience of Balinese dancing that I had to share with anyone who is interested.
