Legong is characterized by its eye-popping, shoulder-raising, and crab-like walking moves. It is considered one of the most elegant dances of Bali. In 2015, it was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

I don't dance, so watching it is, and I've been fascinated with Indonesian traditional dances, in particular jaipong and legong (the former is the dance that inspired Ashrah!).
Hi, everyone! Thanks for bearing with me for the double-morning SFFChat. Next week's chat will be on Thursday evening (EST) as usual.
Introduce yourself & share your favourite dance style (to watch or perform!).
