javanese traditional dance
The Javanese dance performance is really extravagant and beautiful art show of high class quality. The beautiful dance, the elegant performers, the colorful dresses, the magical gamelan music, the pendopo stage create a perfect combination of incomparable art performance. The dance movements of Mataram Kingdom I in the 8th to 10th century might be the same as the ones carved on the Borobudur and Prambanan temples.
Since this early period the dance had been divided to be: court and people’s dance. A traditional dance was performed among other to mark the transfer of a certain area by a King to certain influential man, as a gift by the king to appreciate his good services. As a result thereof, this area became "Daerah Perdikan" was freed from tax payment. It could be traced that the dancers or the dance group received some pieces of gold as their reward. There were also professional dancers, men and women alike to entertain the public.
The traditional dance which later on adapted the stories of Ramayana and Mahabaratha visualized the character of human beings, reflected in the movement, gamelan accompaniment, dresses, accessories, make up, the stage etc.
I also try to find few other traditional dance website but it seems like there are too many of them and it’s quite complicated. This Javanese dance site is one of the simplest yet interesting sites that are available.
