Balinese Traditional Dance

 

The lifestyles of Balinese people is expressed in their dance. Not only do we learn about the Balinese religion from their dance creations but also we can come to understand the flow of cultural events and activities that belong to everyday life. We can discover Balinese attitudes, how they look at nature, and how they regard their fauna and flora.

Balinese dance goes as far back as Balinese written history with much of the heritage originating from Java. Ironically, as a result of the Islamisation of Java, the Javanese culture has disappeared but has still survived in Bali and has become part of classical Balinese culture.

The very essence of the Balinese culture is dance and drama, which is performed during temple festivals and in ceremonies. The dances performed in hotels is a small fraction of what Balinese dance has to offer.

Several venues in Bali tourist area offer great opportunity for tourist to watch this beautiful culture heritage. Check with the hotel concierge to help you for schedules. Click this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEsfevRfjCI to watch the famous Legong Dance in Ubud Palace.

Bali's Cultural Calendar - Tribute to Animals

 

Important day coming up on Bali's religious calendar is Tumpek Kandang on 24th June 2017. The occasion is dedicated to animals, particularly pigs, cows and livestock that are an essential source of income. Balinese farmers will carefully wash their most prized animals and conduct a small ceremony that entails a ritual blessing and specially prepared foods. This is performed with belief that prayers and offerings will result in good health and productive breeding habits.  

 

 

Cleaning Blitz at Petitenget Temple

 

At Amadea we believe that good business is a result of doing something good to the community. On May 13, small team of Amadea staff members led by our Human Resources Coordinator conducted cleaning blitz at Pura Petitenget. This temple is one of prominent temple in Bali located on Petitenget Beach just 1 kilometer away from Amadea.

After the cleaning blitz we also donated some Balinese umbrellas, cleaning tools and waste bins to keep the temple clean and beautiful.                                   

 

 

Amadea Cares Sponsors Cleft Operation for Little Gede Suyasa

 

One of the many initiatives carried out by Amadea Cares is to raise funds for life-enhancing surgeries for those less fortunate from Bali and its neighbouring island. This is a collaborative effort with Yayasan Senyum (Bali Smile Foundation), a non-profit charity that brings essential healthcare to people with severe craniofacial disabilities.  

 

On 23rd May Amadea Cares funded an operation for Gede Suyasa, a 4 month old baby boy from Jembrana Regency, west part of Bali, at local hospital. We were glad to see his smile as well as the smile of her little family. This surgery is to help him lead a more normal life. It was once again made possible due to the generosity of in-house guests choosing to donate to this worthy cause.

Amadea Cares was officially launched on Valentine’s Day 2012 with the aim to give back to the local community, especially those who do not directly benefit from Bali’s lucrative tourism industry. To date, it has successfully funded 19 operations for 16 patients and given hope to families who have been unable to afford costly medical treatment. As a heartfelt Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, Amadea Care is committed to putting smiles back on the faces of people in need.
