Barong is a traditional Balinese dance that symbolizes the eternal battle between good and evil. The performance features a lion-like creature, known as the Barong, which represents goodness and protection. Dancers wear elaborate costumes and masks, bringing the character to life through intricate movements and expressions. The dance is often accompanied by gamelan music, a traditional ensemble of instruments from Indonesia. Barong performances are typically held during religious ceremonies and cultural festivals, serving as a way to ward off evil spirits and bring blessings to the community.
