Your experience

Choose your setting

Choose between three stunning locations: Melasti Beach, Nusa Dua, or Pandawa, each offering a unique view of the Kecak Fire Dance. Settle in for an unforgettable experience, where you’ll be mesmerized by the rhythmic chanting and graceful movements of the male dancers. The performance tells the epic story of Prince Rama's battle against the demon king Ravana, drawing you into a world of vibrant expressions and synchronized choreography. The chanting of "cak" creates a spellbinding atmosphere, bringing the ancient tale to life in a spectacular setting.

Symbolism of the Kecak dance

Did you know the Kecak dance was created in the 1930s by a German artist and a Balinese dancer? Drawing from the Balinese Sanghyang dedari ritual, it was adapted to the Ramayana to make it accessible to Western audiences. As the fire dance concludes the show, you’ll witness the symbolic burning of Hanuman, the monkey god who aided Prince Rama. With its deep cultural significance and captivating performance, the Kecak Fire Dance is a must-see that connects you to Bali’s rich heritage and storytelling traditions.
