Balinese dance is not limited to women. The men also have an important role to play, such as this silly dragon. He was being goaded on by a naughty monkey.
And you can't forget the musicians. The music is very special, an integral part of the spectacle. Photos taken in December 2016.
São de uma grande beleza estes dançarinos.
