Well, for a teenager, the kecak dance is .... really boring. The only thing that i feel that it is actually nice about is how the dancers, usually very close to each other (as neighbors in a village) make sound of different patterns which combines to what I call an imba sound. The chak chak sound made by them is really fast and leaves u to wonder how thay managed to do it in the first place.
Also, another interesting thing about it is how theyusually protray the characters. As I did't recognize most the costumes, I'm not sure what story they are telling and didnt actually understand the dance at all.
There are several locations where you can witness a Kecak dance, but one place is quite spectacular; at the cliff of the Uluwatu temple. The dance starts right before sunset, so the setting is great and on your way you probably will spot some monkeys. Be aware of your personal belongings; these monkeys can be quite naughty. Enjoy the dance, sounds and sunset and make sure you don't forget your camera.
