Balinese Dance Fundamentals I


  • Gamelan Sekar Jaya 3023 Shattuck Avenue Berkeley, CA, 94705 United States (map)

This five-week series of in-person classes will be taught by Sekar Jaya’s Spring 2023 Dance Director Cok Istri Putri Rukmini. This class will focus on the foundations of Balinese dance and is geared towards students who already have some knowledge of Balinese dance (including previous classes with GSJ or short-term study in Bali), as well as total beginners.

Students of all genders are welcomed; students must be at least 12 years old. All class participants are required to be fully vaccinated and to wear masks while inside the GSJ banjar community center. These classes may sometimes take place outside in the outdoor patio area of the banjar building, depending on the preference of the instructor.

Sliding scale class fee for all five sessions. We cannot offer refunds for any classes missed during the five week period unless they are cancelled on our part.

When choosing your sliding scale rate, please keep in mind that GSJ depends on the generosity of its community to support high caliber artists and programming. Thank you!
