village dancing

The rural villages of Central Java host frequent celebrations with gamelan music and spirited dancing. The festivities can include more than a hundred guests from nearby villages, dozens of performers, games of chance, country fare and, occasionally, late-night trance dancing. Whether a local wedding or a harvest celebration, they are colourful spectacles not to be missed.
