The Barong and Kris dance is one of the Bali’s most iconic dance dramas, on par with the Legong and Kecak. Those with a keen interest in arts and culture will appreciate the performances the most, with daily shows scheduled at various stages throughout Bali’s main tourism areas – the most popular being at Batubulan in Gianyar, and the Denpasar suburbs.
