3. Kecak (pronounced: /' ke.tʃak /, roughly "KEH- chahk ", alternative spelling: Ketjak , Ketjack ) is a Balinese art drama that mainly tells about the Ramayana and is played mainly by men. This dance is performed by many (tens or more) male dancers who sit in a circle and with a certain rhythm shout " cak " and raise both arms, depicting the story of the Ramayana when a line of monkeys helped Rama fight Ravana . However, Kecak originates from the sanghyang ritual, which is a dance tradition in which the dancer will be in an unconscious state, communicating with God or the spirits of the ancestors and then conveying their hopes to the community. History

4. The Dancer The dancers consist of two types: the kecak male-chanters and the main Ramayana dancers who play the roles of Sita , Rama, Lakshmana , Ravana , Hanuman, Jatayu , etc. Some of the kecak male-chanters who chant chak-chak-chak have their own tasks during the performance. One individual is responsible for maintaining the beat of the chant by chanting " po-po-po-po ". Another man serves as the leader of the chorus, instructing them to stop or start the chanting by yelling command vocals such as " Diih !", " Chiaaat !", etc. There is also a man whose job is to sing during the chanting; he sings in a melodious or rhythmic tone according to the situation of the dance with vocalizations such as " Shiiir -yang- ngger -yang- nggur -yang- nggeer ". Another man, known as the dalang , narrates the story during the dance, usually in Balinese and Sanskrit. The men chosen for these tasks are usually the senior male dancers. The remaining chanters chant " chak-chak-chak " continuously and simultaneously with harmony.

5. Trance Trance rituals often accompany certain sections of the  kecak  dance, such as during the portrayal of the burning of Hanuman. Here, the dancer playing Hanuman is blessed by a priest and enters a trance state for the fire kicking dance which follows. The dancer does not feel any pain from the fire because he is in a state of trance.

6. Performance Kecak dance performances in Bali usually take place daily in the evening (6 pm, Bali time) at Balinese Hindu temples such as Uluwatu Temple and Tanah Lot. There are also dance stages used exclusively for kecak performances in Ubud , Garuda Wisnu Kencana , Batu Bulan , Pandawa beach and other places in Bali. Kecak performances also take place on other occasions, such as for cultural and entertainment displays. Dancers usually come from local villagers of the surrounding area of the performance; they usually have a main job other than dancing which they finish before performing the kecak dance. The dancers' income from the dance usually comes from tickets sold to the spectators. The most popular destination for kechak dance performances is Uluwatu Temple .
