Kecak and Fire Dance

Kecak and Fire Dance is one of Bali’s most famous traditional performances.

• Kecak Dance
  Originating from Bali, Kecak is a dramatic dance performed by a large group of men sitting in a circle, chanting “cak-cak-cak” rhythmically. There are no musical instruments—the human voice creates the music. The story usually comes from the Ramayana epic, focusing on Prince Rama, Sita, Hanuman, and the battle against Ravana.

• Fire Dance
  Toward the climax, the performance includes a fire dance, where dancers interact with burning coconut husks. It symbolizes spiritual power, purification, and the triumph of good over evil. Despite the fire, dancers are believed to be protected through ritual and concentration.
