pen & pencil on art paper, approx. A4 sizeMy new friend at work, 'Ari', is a Balinese dance teacher.
She offered to teach me the dance for free but I am not sure could be able to cope with the movement.
To have the legs half-bent all the times with the torso shifted to one side with the elbow raised & lowered - and shifted symmetry with the arms...
Hhmmm, I don't think so...

Awesome image, I like it when the dancer playing their eyeball.
Found this nice blog from Ec and nice to be here.

I just realised what happened with your PR?
Just a suggestion, I think you should allow anonymous commenters so non-blogger users can leave comments either ;)
you have really captured the movement of the dancer Leet..
the expression on the dancer's face is lovely :)
Hi bonoriau,
Nice having you around...
Hi Oli,
Thank you for tagging me, I try to make an entry before end of oct.

Hello susano,
I always enjoy watching the dance, the energic movement and expression are coordinate with the gamelan music.
Nice having you around...
Hi r1ooooo,
Do I limit it? I'll check later, thanks for the info...
Hi Kim,
Thank you, actually balinese dancer doesn't smile... :-)
HI Leet,
You have captured the form and grace of the Balinese dancer very well. Great execution!
The Indian and Thai dances are also quite exotic, same with the dances of the tribes in the Southern Philippines - very colorful, fast, and fat reducing too for its difficult movements to perform.
It can be done by the untrained after a couple of beers perhaps? LOL! :-) --Durano, done!
Hi Durano,
I basically love traditional dances...
...and LOL... :-) you right about dancing under influence...

Hi carnation,
It is very challenging to learn Balinese dance. The dancer used to learn & practise since the age of 4.
