Fire Dance at Pura Dalem Ubud

I posted about the Kecak and Fire Dance performance at Pura Dalem in Ubud a few weeks ago. I regretted though not having better video to share. This post is mainly to share a full video of this trance dance which we experienced again a few nights ago.

First just a few photos of the Kecak dance that preceeded the FIre Dance. Here the priest blesses the event.

Rawana threatens Sita

Hanuman to the rescue. Don't we love Hanuman?

I didn't video much of the Kecak but made an Ambisonic (spatial) recording of the performance for later.

Now to the Fire Trance Dance performance.
