Legong dance Considered as the most dazzling of all Balinese Dances. Swathed in cocoons of gold-plaited fabrics, dancers perform interpretations of litteraly classics. They are bound tightly in sarongs and chest cloths of opulent green or pink with gilded crowns filled with frangipani blossoms on their heads. | ||

| The performance begins with a solo dance by the condong, a court lady dressed in pink and gold. She then welcomes the two legong with a pair of fans. dressed identically in bright green and gold, the two legong play the stor, adopting and swaping characters apparently at random. At the climax, the condong returns as the raven, with pink wings attached to her costume. |
