Don’t miss the island’s colorful traditional dance. A classical “monkey chant” dance known as Kecak Dance, that all of the dancers are coming from Desa Pekraman Taman Kaja.  Performed by a group of at least 50 men who dance in a circle around blazing bamboo torches. The only music to accompany them are the beats of their palms hitting their chests, their thighs, or other parts of their bodies, or their claps, rhythmically accompanied by shouting and chanting.
