Dec 16, 2024
The dance is typically accompanied by a gamelan ensemble of bamboo instruments, called a gamelan joged bumbung. Its dancers usually wear attire consisting of a Kebaya and Sarong. Unlike most Balinese dances, joged is not a religious or ritual one. It is more of a secular social dance for entertainment purposes only. During a joged performance, a single or several female dancers will perform for usually predominantly male audience to dance with them. Dancers may often invite a spectator to join in the joged using a fan and sash. which unlike many dances has no set moves and is largely improvised. It is considered impolite to refuse such an invitation.
