If you come across different cultures as rich as Indonesia, you would like to explore and open your eyes to something new. Traditional dance is one form that you shouldn’t miss during your journeys in the archipelago.
Each region has its own dances and various art form interpretations. There are, for example, three genres or types of traditional dance in Bali: Wali (sacred dance), Bebali (semi-frightful dance) and Balih-balihan (entertainment dancing). All three genres are recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
It is not difficult to find any Balinese culture on the island. While it is common to find these dances performed in temples or in special occasions, many tourist spots are typically performed as entertainment in Balinese dance.
Besides displaying various animal education shows, including elephants and tigers, Bali Safari Park is proud of the splendid Balinese culture that we gladly include in the park and shows.
These are venue and cultural shows that you can enjoy or participate freely while visiting Bali Safari Park.
