Community Balinese Dance


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

This class was initially created for the Indonesian and Indonesian diaspora community in the Bay Area who share a love for dance, and over time, it has grown to welcome anyone interested in experiencing the beauty of Balinese dance movements.

In this class with Ibu Ayu and Gung Anom, we will focus on learning fundamentals of Balinese dance technique and exploring several traditional Balinese dance routines. While performances are not mandatory, all dancers are invited to honor and respect the community and its rich cultural heritage. We also look forward to the friendship that grows in our study together.

Students of all genders are welcomed; students must be at least 12 years old. These classes may sometimes take place outside in the outdoor patio area of the banjar building, depending on the preference of the instructor.
