Fire, rhythm, and myth — Bali's legendary dances are unforgettable.
As Bali’s art and culture capital, Ubud is the ideal place to experience the beauty and energy of traditional Balinese dance. Dance plays an important role in Balinese life — from sacred temple ceremonies to storytelling, celebration, and pure entertainment.
Some of the most iconically Balinese performances include the Legong, Kecak, and Barong dances, each offering its own distinctive music, movement, and cultural symbolism. You can enjoy these mesmerising performances at a variety of venues, from the historic Ubud Royal Palace to local temples, community halls, restaurants, and open-air stages throughout Ubud and the surrounding villages.

The Kecak fire dance at Pura Dalem Taman Kaja is our favourite. Arrive 20 minutes early for the best seats.
