There are many types of Balinese dance composed by Balinese artists. Sometimes one particular type of dance has slightly differences depends upon who the teacher is, what village she/he comes from, etc. The core of the movements are standard, but each style might carry minor improvization. More and more dances are created since the Indonesian Art Institute in Bali was established. These dances are called "new creation dances". Some types of dances are listed below.
Pendet When a little girl starts learning how to dance, usually she will be taught Pendet dance since it requires simple and basic movements and not to fast tempo. This dance is also called a "welcoming dance" for it is performed at the beginning of an event. There are two types of Pendet dance, first is the one that is only danced at a temple festival to greet the Gods, and second is Pendet that is performed to mark a ceremonial event such as the end of the school year, anniversary of the youth club of a village, etc. Sometimes it is also performed to welcome government dignitaries. This type of dance is only danced by girls or women.
Legonng This dance is one of the classical dances. Only girls perform Legong and the training often begins at age five. By the time a girl reaches puberty, she retires from dancing this. The girls are called divined nymphs and act the roles of highly refined courtiers.Baris Baris expresses manly attributes and is a ritual war dance. This dance requires a dancer to have an ability in changing many expression. Even though this is a war dance, it does not restrict a young boy from dancing this. Baris can be performed at a temple festival as well as at non-ritual events.
personally i love to dance freely

Answer 3

Hula and Tahitian dancing is SO amazing...I love every minute of it. It's a great learning experience, you learn parts of the language and culture just from dancing, and it's so balanced out. Hula is slower and Tahitian definetly picks up the pace. I think that any person that takes hula/tahitian dance will LOVE every second of it.

Answer 4

well, it really depends on who you are, and your personality type.if you're a slow person, you're gonna want something such as ballet, lyrical, or musical theatre that has slow flowing movements. But on the other hand if you're a speed dancer, you might want to try hip hop, jazz, or maybe even tap! no matter what you choose, it'll be fun! so, good luck!

Answer 5

i think you'd probably be good in a jazz or funk class, ballet or tap maybe a bit too strict for you. with the splits and jumps it all depends on what your teacher likes in classes. my teacher's great especially in funk. tap is mostly about the feet so i wouldn't reccomend that and ballet might be a bit too strict for your likeing so i'd go with a funk or hip hop or breakdance class.

Answer 6

modern dance or Hip Hop.

Answer 7

modern dance is your best bet.
