Barong is the most well known dance in Bali. It is a storytelling dance, narrating the fight between good and evil. This dance is the classic example of Balinese way of acting out mythology, resulting in myth and history being blended into one reality. The barong is performed by two dancers inside the Barong costume, one to control the head & another to control the hind end. Usually danced by young men of the village on special holy days & celebrations.
