Bungin Island Sumbawa, the most populous island in the world

2012-09-15T10:28:00.003+07:00

Vice Governor of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Badrul Munir will bring 12 heads of agencies to come to the world's most populous island, Sumbawa regency Bungin on Friday morning, July 6, 2012. Because, Badrul want to promote small island populated the Bajo Sulawesi origin.

Tri NTB provincial government spokesman Budi Prayitno describes as a venue determination Bungin Archipelago Day and is delivered as a tourist attraction, Thursday afternoon, July 5, 2012. This is the uniqueness of the island. The island is densely populated and growing extent. '' Because of reclamation for the addition of new family-friendly,'' he said.

Where the Bungin? The island is located in front of the entrance to the bay Alas Alas districts, 70 kilometers west of the town of Sumbawa Besar, capital of Sumbawa regency. Bungin Island is north district Alas. To come Bungin, in the old port of Labuan Alas available motor boat there called Jonson. She uses the 8 PK. The crossing is 3 miles into Bungin takes 10 minutes.

Although the island is relatively small, but there are available two pieces of the pier, on the south and west. Alas crossings Bungin quite crowded. There were eight boats that crossed Bungin Jonson-Alas since morning till dusk.

There seemed a sand beach that stretches around the island. Only the houses looked as if it was standing right on the water. Indeed, from near the base at least two feet jutted from the sea. The density of these islands can be felt so down the alley way concrete rebates of about 1.25 meters wide.

Similarly, the distance between the houses people who shaped the distinctive stilt houses Bajo Sulawesi as on Sumbawa Island. Almost no vast empty land except page two SD, in front of the mosque, and the front of the village. Except for complex primary and teacher housing.

The form is slightly rounded oval island. In this map, the island is seen as black dots. Based on data from Tempo, in 1994 the extent of 16 hectares. The island has the status of village government. Bungin divided into three hamlets that entirely covers 15 RT. According to Census 2010, the island was inhabited by 3025 people. Bungin broad reach 1.5 square kilometers.

This is because the density of the growing island. Each resident can build the house by way of providing their own land. That is, for those who want to own a home, can do it by expanding the island using a pile of rocks that are already dead.

According to a book published Know Sumbawa Government Relations Sumbawa, Bajo growing population as migrants from South Sulawesi, the island has insufficient land. As a man of the sea, houses built on stilts with a rock I build first on the seafront. Eventually we get a new house, then expanding island islands.

Because of the uniqueness of the island pace with the spread of houses, Bungin become one of the attractions for the Sumbawa district. Every Sunday the island is visited by foreign tourists.

At that time, the island is still able to be expanded to the north and east. Because, on the west and south is no longer possible because of the depth of the ocean is more than 2 meters. On average, each year, added 10 new houses on the island Bungin. Usually chosen to set up home in both the fasting month of Sha'ban.

Increasing a new home, the increased breadth of the island's land about one are or the size of their house 9 times 12 yards. All residents should not build a house without any restriction. The breadth is not rationed. But based on the capabilities of each. Because they have to collect the dead rock of the sea. How many rocks to be collected in an area of land of 100 square meters and the height of the stack about 2 feet.

Typically, built a new house on the seafront was done by the new family before they move in with his parents. Locals, Amirudin, said the new family after marriage is not immediately built the house and broke away. But they have to prepare it first. They must abide by the law first home first. '' His name parents also still love the child. Maybe after a descent, if you want to be independent and her husband obviously had to make a home,'' said Amirudin.

To build the house, local residents first notify the neighbors. Permission granted if deemed eligible, for example, has a family. However, it should also unknown whether the desired location has not become the property of others.

Once the house is set to be established by a person, the area was marked with poles and piles of stones. Simply by marking the location, the people can no longer take it. Employment set up houses on stilts made of wood Poster boards work together is done. The tradition of mutual aid is characterized laughter-laughter (brass gongs) as a sign of the'' work''.

About the time limit to build the house, no provisions. All depends on the capabilities of each. It could be a lot stronger mengkavling origin.

Intermittent Martawin two houses of residence, are still empty. Though the sea was there was a house standing. If you have this, can rush to lift the rock of the boat.

Rock heap as high as 2 meters of land his collected Kaung island. Some homes are built to 7 years. One of them was built Martawin which is now inside. Therefore, to the seafront behind his house is now the home there are 3 layers. About 14 years there have been 3.

For home base, they take sea corals died. It is associated with legal education ever undertaken by the State Attorney Sumbawa Besar on Bylaw No. 5 of 1982 relating to the destruction of nature conservation penalty for making a rock.

Just a pity, the houses there to say no one has a shower and toilet. Like most people there, they go bathe and defecate in the sea. At home, they just flush again just rinsing the sea water in the body using fresh water stored in the bucket.

To get fresh water is, in fact since 1990 the island Bungin obtain clean water supply through a subsea pipeline from the river on the mainland Marente-Alas Sumbawa 7 kilometers away from the island Bungin. Construction of water lines at a cost of approximately USD 100 million. At the same time the use of electricity as well inaugurated also from Sumbawa mainland, by Afif Saleh, who was chairman of the National Development Planning Agency.

Previously, the residents get clean water at an old well that is Nange across Sumbawa mainland. Prior to any boat called Jonson, those requiring fresh water rowing boat for 20 minutes. Nange old wells is believed by residents as well Bungin sacred.

However, the villages there is relatively clean. There's no trash heap scattered. Meeting environmental conditions and lack of enough clean water for a healthy life like it did not make settlers willing to move from the island.

History Bungin populated Bajo, calculated according to the story since the arrival Palema Mayo before the eruption of Mount Tambora in Sumbawa mainland, in 1812. Palema Mayu is one of 6 children Selayar king. Why Palema Mayo to Bungin, no one knows. At that time, the island's white sandy Bungin empty. Only the mangrove trees only.

Pranata Mangsa or Institutions Prey: dating Systems season astronomy intelligence evidence of our ancestors

As with other cultures in the world, indigenous peoples Indonesia have long been concerned with the sky. Sky observations used in agriculture and shipping. Pranatamangsa known in the Java community, which is based on the season forecasting of natural phenomena, and is generally associated with the layout of the stars in the sky.

According Daldjoeni in his book "Java Agriculture calendar Pranata Prey" Prey Pranata quite brilliant invention.

Complexity is not less weight than those found dating system of Ancient Egypt, China, Maya, and Burma. The more so when compared with American-style model of Farming Almanac, Pranata prey is far more advanced.

Although the technology is increasingly sophisticated, as now, the application of the calculation of prey are still relevant institutions. That's because our ancestors used to study natural phenomena such as the rainy season / dry season flowering / fruiting, the position of constellations, the influence of full moon, and so forth. By studying the natural phenomena of our ancestors can better appreciate the preservation of nature.

Actually there are many technologies that our ancestors used that are not listed here. Such findings were in fact since the first of Indonesia has been able to master the advanced technology of his day was not worth it when we boast ourselves as the current generation if we do not value and appreciate our ancestors .. Our ancestors have built the temples of exquisite architecture and the last hundred years. Our ancestors also built a fleet that has sailed the sea. Our ancestors have also found objects that tebilang simple but a lot of benefits. That is proof that our ancestors are very intelligent.

Occupiers who have made us weaker and less confident. Therefore, after becoming an independent nation we must be able to get back up to align ourselves with other nations that have been developed.

Form of formal institutions introduced in the Sunan prey Pakubuwana VII (king of Surakarta) and came into use since June 22, 1856, is intended as a guide for farmers on the cultivation of rice itu.Perlu realized that at that time was only conducted once a year, followed by pulses or rice gogo. In addition, institutions prey on those days meant as a guide for relevant parties to prepare for natural disasters, given the weather forecast technology not yet known. Institutions of prey in the form of "body of knowledge" is spoken is still applied by a group of people and in some ways its observations of natural phenomena.

There are instructions that the Java community, especially those living in the area around Mount Merapi, Mount Merbabu, until Lawu, has known the principles of prey institutions long before the arrival of the influence of India. These principles are based on the circulation of the sun in the sky and circulation plow constellation (Orion)

. In the area of type Am according to Koeppen climate, the inhabitants of the sun-based calendar implemented and constellations as part of the harmony of the natural rhythm of life follows the change in a year. This knowledge can be thought to have been passed down from generation to generation since the period of the Kingdom of Medang (Hindu Mataram) from the 9th century until the period of the Sultanate of Mataram in the 17th century as a guide in the field of agriculture, economics, administration, and defense (military).

Changes are implemented in Java technology since the 1970s, a package of agricultural intensification such as the use of chemical fertilizers, early maturing cultivars of old (can be harvested at age 120 days or less, previously took up to 180 days), the widespread network of irrigation through dams or weir, and especially the rapid growth forecast techniques have led to institution of prey (in the form of formal Kasunanan version) lost a lot of relevance. The issue of global climate change is getting stronger since the 1990s also made a prey of institutions should be reviewed because it was considered "no longer be read".

Fierce eruption of Mount Tambora 1815

2012-05-08T09:15:00.001+07:00

Some of us would not know that Mount Tambora on record as the highest volcano in Indonesia. That was before the volcano erupted in April 1815 devastating.

When the summit of Mount Tambora reached a height of about 4,300 meters above sea level (asl). Compare with the highest land in Indonesia, namely Puncak Jayawijaya, Papua, the altitude about 3050 m above sea level.

After the great eruption of Tambora, the land at the top of it spewed out in all directions. As a result, the height of a volcano that was left by half, which is about 2851 m above sea level.

The eruption is so horrible it also left a huge caldera. In fact, according to records, the size of the caldera is most widespread in Indonesia. Imagine, the caldera has a diameter of about 7 km, a maximum length of 16 km and a depth of 1.5 km.

Today, the volcano which is administratively located in two counties; Dompu and Bima, West Nusa Tenggara province (NTB) were left miraculous story, not only in Indonesia but also impacts to the various parts of the world.

Very tense

The tragedy began in early April 1815. When the area around Mount Tambora began to vibrate. Vibration was intensified on 10 April 1815, at 19:00 local time. Since then up to five days, the explosion of Mount Tambora reached its climax.

At night, from a distance Tambora really lit a fire that continues to radiate because of the mountain peaks. The atmosphere was very tense. Mountain stream seemed to turn into a huge fire.

At the same time, the eruption was also spewing hot gas, ash, and rocks toward the bottom as far as 20 km down to the sea. Villages around Tambora was destroyed by pyroclastic flows engulfed them.

According to Firdaus Haris in his book titled Greatest Mysteries of Indonesia (2008), three small kingdoms burned and destroyed by the lava and the eruption of Mount Tambora material. The third kingdom is Concentrated within about 30 miles west of Tambora. Then, Empire Studio is 35 km east of Tambora, and the kingdom of Tambora is 25 km from the volcano.

Almost all residents in the three kingdoms were killed. Only two people survived. In fact, the kingdom's third location was already cultivated quite safe from the effects of volcanic eruptions.

The eruption of Mount Tambora also carry a very large landslide material into the sea. Avalanches that cause a tsunami on the beaches in Indonesia such as Bima, East Java and Maluku. Tsunami height was estimated at 4 meters.

Not only that, it also cast a powerful blast of volcanic ash up to West Java and South Sulawesi. Even the smell wafted up Nitric also to Batavia (now Jakarta). Heavy rain accompanied the fall of ash also occur.

According to geologists, the eruption was the largest natural disaster in history. Imagine, as compared with the eruption of Krakatoa which occurred in August 1883, the explosion of Mount Tambora more dahsat four times as much.

The eruption of Mount Tambora was heard up to the island of Sumatra, Makassar and Ternate as far as 2,600 km. Ashes were also flown as far as 1,300 km with an altitude of 44 km from the soil surface. Volume of dust is estimated at 400 km3.

Because of the thick dust flying in the sky, along the area with a radius of 600 km of the mountain is visible darkness for two days. Understandably, the sun could not penetrate the thick gray earlier.

Areas suffer most certainly near the location of Tambora. According to the Swiss botanist, Heinrich Zollinger, the eruption was instantly killed about 10,000 people.

After that, the number of deaths from starvation in Sumbawa reached 38,000 people and 10,000 people in Lombok. Another source said it had reduced the eruption of Sumbawa to the remaining population of only 85,000 people..

Number of Victims of Widespread

Not only that. The death toll also spread to the island of Bali, which reached 10,000 people. The next impact, as many as 49,000 people died from disease and starvation.

Why was there a prolonged famine? There are several reasons. First, all the plants on the island of Sumbawa when it is destroyed by a thick ash-covered and engulfed in flames.

Second, during the two weeks of heavy clouds still covered the areas around Mount Tambora, including Bali. Impact, many crops were destroyed and crop failures.

Third, the ash particles in the long term still in atmofer with altitude 10-30 km. As a result, the climate cycle becomes erratic and farmers could not harvest the crop cultivation.

Mount Tambora Sumbawa Island

2012-05-08T08:45:00.003+07:00

Mount Tambora (or Tomboro) is an active stratovolcano located on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. The mountain is located in two districts, namely District Dompu (some distance south to the northwest side, and Bima (south side of the slope to the northwest, and feet to the top of the east to the north), West Nusa Tenggara Province, on 8 ° 15 'S and 118 ° east. mountain is located in both the north and south sides of the oceanic crust. Tambora was formed by the subduction zone beneath. This increases the height of Tambora up to 4300 m] which makes this mountain was once one of the highest peaks in the archipelago and drain a large magma chamber inside the mountain. It took centuries to refill the magma chamber.

This volcanic activity reached its peak in April 1815 when it erupted in a scale of seven on the Volcanic explosivity index. To the eruption's largest eruption since the eruption of Lake Taupo in the year 181. The explosion was heard up to Sumatra island (more than 2,000 km). Volcanic ash falls in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java and Maluku. The explosion was caused by the death of no fewer than 71,000 people were killed by 11000-12000 direct result of the eruption. In fact, some researchers estimate that up to 92,000 people were killed, but this figure is questionable because based on estimates that are too high. Moreover, the eruption is causing global climate change. The next year (1816) is often referred to as the Year Without a Summer because of the drastic change of weather North America and Europe because of the dust produced from the eruption of Tambora this. Due to drastic climate change is a lot of crop failure and livestock deaths in the Northern Hemisphere which led to the worst famine in the 19th century.

Formation

Tambora lies 340 km north of the Java Trench system and 180-190 km above the subduction zone. The mountain is located in both the north and south sides of the oceanic crust. This mountain has a convergence rate as much as 7.8 cm per year. Tambora is thought to have been on earth since 57 000 BP (radiocarbon dating standards). When the mountain is rising due to the underlying geological processes, a large magma chamber part is formed and simultaneously emptied magma. Mojo Island, too, formed as part of this geological process in which Saleh Bay was originally a deep basin (about 25,000 BP).

According to geological investigation, a high volcanic cone was formed before the eruption in 1815 with the same characteristics as the form of stratovolcano. Diameter holes to reach 60 km. The main hole which often emits lava flowing down regularly with a swift to steep slopes.

Since the eruption in 1815, at the very bottom there are deposits of lava and pyroclastic material. Approximately 40% of the 1-4 m layer represented by thin lava flows. Scoria is produced by the fragmentation of thin lava flows. At the top, covered by lava scoria, tuff and pyroclastic rocks flowing down. At Mount Tambora, there are 20 craters. Some craters have a name, for example Tahe (877 m), Molo (602 m), Kadiendinae, the Dome (1648 m) and Doro Api Toi. The crater is also producing basalt lava flows.

History of the eruption

By using radiocarbon dating techniques, it is stated that Mount Tambora had erupted three times before the 1815 eruption, but the magnitude of the eruption is not known. [14] Estimated date of eruption was in 3910 BC ± 200 years, 3050 BC and 740 ± 150 years. The third eruption eruptions have the same characteristics. Each eruption has a major eruption in the hole, but there are exceptions to the third eruption. In the third eruption, there are no pyroclastic flows.

In 1812, Mount Tambora became more active, with a peak of eruption occurred in April 1815. This eruption into large-scale seven Volcanic explosivity index (VEI), the number of bursts tefrit of 1.6 × 1011 cubic meters. Characteristics of eruptions, including the eruption of the main hole, pyroclastic flows, fatalities, damage to soil and land, the tsunami and the collapse of the caldera. This third eruptions affect global climate in a long time. Activity after the eruption of the Tambora new stops on the date of July 15, 1815. Further activities will then occur in August 1819 consisting of small eruptions of fire and the roar accompanied aftershocks that are considered part of the 1815 eruption.

The eruption of the second scale is included in the VEI scale. Around 1880 ± 30 years, Tambora erupted again, but only within the caldera. These eruptions create a small lava flow and lava dome extrusion, which then form a new crater called Doro Api Toi inside the caldera.

Mount Tambora still active status. Small lava domes and lava flows still occur on the floor of the caldera in the 19th century and the 20th century. The last eruption occurred in 1967, accompanied by an earthquake and measured on a scale of 0 VEI, which means an eruption occurs without explosion.

During an archaeological excavation in 2004, a team of archaeologists found the remains buried by the eruption of culture in 1815 at a depth of 3 meters in pyroclastic deposits. [6] artifact-artifact was discovered in the same position when the eruption occurred in 1815. Because of the similar characteristics of this, the findings are often referred to as the Pompeii of the east.

197 Years Ago Tambora story and Frankenstein On Monday, April 9, 2012, Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) establish the status of Mount Tambora normal, the lowest level in kegunungapian status. Contrasting situation than what happened 197 years ago. At that time, on 5 April 1815, Tambora began to show symptoms of something wrong. He roared, his voice booming. Ash spewed from kawag. Data PVMBG call, paroksimal eruption occurred on April 10, 1815 and ending on April 12, 1815. Three days are horrible. The eruption continued, accompanied by thunder connect like an atomic bomb explosion, heard hundreds of kilometers. Strength of the eruption of Tambora was the largest ever recorded in history. A total of 92 000 lives taken away, spraying hot ash and pierce the atmosphere, global average temperature dropped 3 degrees Celsius. Even in the northern hemisphere, there was no summer in the following year, 1816, 'the year without summer'. Snow storm hit New England in July of that year, the crops failed. Europe also experienced conditions as bad.

Media The Times published a letter from a dealer in the Netherlands Indies. "We just had the most incredible eruption that may never happen anywhere on Earth," he writes, as the site loaded science, Newscientist. Mount Tambora erupted on the island of Sumbawa. The explosion heard up to 850 kilometers. A number of ship captain who sailed around Sumbawa describe severe conditions at the time. "They see the ocean as far as the eye can see filled with trees, rocks that float, which prevents the ship," wrote trader itu.Dua days after the massive eruption, Sumbawa darkness. "Rice crop completely destroyed, nothing left. People in large numbers were killed instantly, others dying every day."

Elsewhere in the world, Tambora also claimed thousands of lives. Not because of eruption, but rather a result of epidemic typhus and hunger prevalent in the European region. The inevitable chaos, houses and shops were burned and looted. Tambora even change the map of history, June 18, 1815, Tambora caused by bad weather which made Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo lost the war. Terpedih day in the glorious history of the French Emperor.

However, no one expected, even scientists, the Sun will disappear in 1816. People think, doom is imminent. Uncontrollable panic. "A girl woke her aunt and shouting, the world will end soon. The aunt was surprised, even koma.Sementara in Ghent, the cavalry that came when the storm blew their trumpets, unexpectedly, two-thirds of the population took to the streets, on his knees. They thought have heard the trumpets of doom signs, "the illustrated London Chronicle.

In Frankenstein inspired seputaran that time, a female 18-year-old Mary Shelley was on holiday in the Lake Geneva region, Switzerland. Together Bysshe Shelley, her husband in the future, they are stuck at home rain Lord Bryon. It was dark at that time. To divert attention from bad weather, the hosts held a competition to write horror stories. Shelley produced a spectacular famous novel of all time, "Frankenstein". Time, as the site loaded science, Discovery.com, they also had time to experiment, using an electric gelimbang on dead animals evoke the idea behind a lifeless corpse. The group also took turns reading the story of German horror. Meanwhile, Lord Bryon produce a poem called "Darkness". "The light went out," Bryon writes in a poem that he wrote in 1986. In Indonesia, long-forgotten history of Tambora. Few are aware, outbreaks have occurred in the archipelago.

Bicentennial Tambora eruption will fall in April 2015. Grand event is being prepared, including the exhibition sites are found around the mountain tersebut.Di them, remnants of ancient civilizations and the framework of two adults Tambora ash buried at a depth of 3 meters. Allegedly, it is the remains of a tragic kingdom of Tambora 'preserved' by the impact of the massive eruption of Tambora itu.Penemuan make the site has in common with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD century.

Pleasure Bali Dance

2012-04-13T09:47:00.001+07:00

Bali Dance History

Balinese dance is fun and Balinese dance is an organic part of community supporters and disposition of its people is reflected in the dance. (I Made Bandem, 1983). According to the structure of society, the art of Balinese dance can be divided into 3 (three) periods, namely:

1. Period of Primitive Society (Pre-Hindu) (20,000 BC-400 AD)

2. Society Feudal Period (400 AD-1945)

3. Period of modern society (since 1945)

Primitive Society (Pre-Hindu)

At the time of pre-Hindu people's lives in Bali is affected by the surrounding natural conditions. Natural rhythm of the rhythm of their lives. Meraka dance imitating the motions of the surrounding nature like the sound waves, wind blown trees, animal movements and so forth. Forms of motion of this kind are still preserved in Balinese dance. In this day and age people do not just rely on nature, but they also devote his life to the life sepiritual. Their belief in Animism and Totemism lead their dances are full of devotion, berunsurkan Trance (kerawuhan), in the presentation and serves as a repellent reinforcements. One of the few forms of Balinese dance that originated in Hindu culture is the Pre-hyang.

Feudal society

In the feudal society characterized by the development of the Balinese dance elements of Hindu culture. Hindu influences retreat went very slowly. Beginning in the seventh century in the reign of UGRA sena in Bali. In the X century occurred the marriage of King Udayana with Mahendradatta, queen of eastern Java that is born king of perkawianan Airlangga who later became king in East Java. Since it happened very close relationship between Java and Bali. Balinese culture is based on ancestor worship (animism and totemism) mixed with Hinduism and Buddhism which eventually became Hindu culture as we see now the oldest records that mention of the manifold of dance found in Central Java is a stone inscribed jaha which dates to 840 AD . In the feudal era of dance developed in the palace, also developed in the community. This is due to the interest of religion was never absent from the dance and music.

Modern Society

In the modern society that began in the Republic of Indonesia's independence in 1945, patromisasi of the kingdoms in feudal times began to decrease. At this time many new creations were created, although it is still based on new creations to traditional values, ie, just change the composition and interpretation of the song into motion.

Definition of Dance

Dance is an expression of human feelings expressed by the human body movements. Of meaning is quite clear that the essence of dance is movement. In this regard the Indonesian general dictionary book stated that: "Dance is the movement of the body (hands, etc.) is rhythmic and usually accompanied by the sounds (are like music, gamelan)". Poerwadarminta, (1976: 1020). Motions of human body parts are arranged in harmony with the rhythm of the music and have a purpose. Later in the book of dance education is mentioned that "the art of dance is an expression of value-niliai beauty and greatness through motion and attitude". (Ward, 1990:8)

From the above description it can be concluded that the reference to the art of dance in the title of this thesis is the expression of the human spirit are realized through the whole motion of the body beautiful. The motion was laid out by rhythmic counterpoint in accordance with the epitome of character and theme dance.

Basic - Basic Dance Bali

Outline the basics of Balinese dance is divided into 3 parts: Agem, Away, and Tangkep. Djayus the basic theory states Dancing dance Bali Bali is Agem, Away, and Tangkep. As a clearer picture of the basic aspects of Balinese dance is described as follows:

Agem is, the attitude of the subject which contains a specific intent which is a main motion that does not change from one attitude to the attitude of the principal subjects lain.Agem consists of a variety of forms, for example, mungkah mace, ngerajasinga, pat hem, ngeteg-pinggel, and so lain.Tandang is how to move a motion that another principal subject movement, so it becomes a series of continuous motion. Kit consists of: Abah is the displacement motion of the foot in dance composition, and countered the development of the hand as luknagasatru, nerudut and ngelimat.Tangkep expression that exudes inspiration is dance that is an expression that arise through muka.Tangkep light is composed of several kinds, for example: bullets , which is incredible sense of joy that is realized with a straight face; encahcerunggu, the change of an expression kemimik others, and maniscerungu, is smiling while mendelikan eye. It is a very decisive Tangkep maturity without the inspiration of dance, dance does not seem hidup.Demikianlah agem, tangkep away and is a unity that can not be separated - separated. Terms - the terms of perfection of a dance is included in it.

These three factors mentioned above have the meaning of unity between wiraga, wirasa and wirama for the perfection of Balinese dance.

Classification of Balinese Dance

Balinese dance is based on its type can be classified into four, namely: 1) the type of dance according to their function, 2) according to the type of dance choreography, 3) the type of dance in the manner of presentation, 4) types of dance by theme or content.
