Balinese Dance Classes

We had decided to take several traditional Balinese dance classes from our Shakti dance instructor, Barbara. Barbara has studied many years (and moved to Bali 20 years ago to study) under the direction of a still bright and spunky 90 year old teacher,
Barbara even showed us pictures of she and her teacher dancing last week. The traditional Balinese moves, we both agree, are complicated and complex. We get a chance to stretch even our eyeballs. The steps are often small and intrinsic, but full of intention and energetic focus.
