Solo Warrior Dance - Classical Balinese Dance (Baris Tunggal)

Baris is a family of traditional war dances of Bali (Indonesia), accompanied by gamelan, in which a dancer depict the feelings of a young warrior prior to battle, glorify the manhood of the triumphant Balinese warrior, and display the sublimity of his commanding presence.
Baris Tunggal Dance was created in the early 20th century. This dance is usually performed as the opening dance for the secular show and sometimes as the lead figure in the dance-drama. The dance is always performed by a young boy, occasionally by a young girl.
Movements in this dance tell the toughness of Balinese soldier at that time. The dancer wears a belt (setagen), reaching up on his body; inside this belt a dagger (keris) is tucked, near the shoulder. The dance movement is steady, firm, energetic and dynamic, accompanied by eye movement (sledet) which constantly changing. This reflects the nature of a soldier who is aware of the situation around him.
