Gamelan and Dance in Ubud

Gamelan and Dance at Ubud Palace – August 2025 I filmed this traditional Balinese gamelan and dance performance at Ubud Palace in August 2025. The palace hosts nightly shows where visitors can experience the beauty of Balinese performing arts. The music is played by a live gamelan orchestra — an ensemble of metallophones, gongs, drums, and flutes — creating shimmering layers of sound unique to Bali. The dancers perform with precise hand gestures, eye movements, and expressive storytelling, reflecting centuries of tradition. The combination of the palace’s historic setting, the vibrant gamelan music, and the graceful choreography makes this one of the most memorable cultural experiences in Ubud. 🙏 I’m sharing this video to offer a glimpse into Bali’s living traditions of music and dance. #Bali #UbudPalace #Gamelan #BalineseDance #BalineseCulture
