Baris (dance)

Baris is a traditional dance of Bali, in which a solo dancer depicts the feelings of a young warrior prior to battle. Originally, Baris was performed as a religious ritual. The dancer may bear a kris, a spear, a bow, or other weapons, depending on the variant performed. "baris" literally means "line" or "file", and referred to the line of soldiers who served the rajas of Bali.
