From our balcony we could see the staff moving all the tables from the dining area to the lawn in front of the pool. What was happening? It turned out our last dinner was accompanied by a Balinese dance performance. Our performers were young students from the village. I was totally swept away by their dazzling performance. The movements of their eyes, head, neck and fingers are controlled, precise and amazingly coordinated. The dance is jumpy, shifting and jerky, and the music has abrupt changes in tempo with dramatic contrasts between crashing sounds and silence.
