Bailando con lo Divino en Bali, Indonesia

Many Balinese believe that dancing for God is a spiritual practice, to be expressed as a longing for liberation from the suffering of reincarnation in this mundane world. They worship God through music and dance during temple ceremonies, weddings and funerals. The dancers are adorned with exquisite details, starting from gorgeous dresses and delicate makeup to the careful cultivation of their attitude and devotion, all which are regarded as methods for elevating the dance in order to communicate with God.
