Good evening friends, how are you all, hopefully always in the protection of God. Hey friends, tonight I will post about a typical Balinese dance, the Margapati dance
Margapati dance is one of the loose dances whose category is kekebyaran dance. Margapati dance was created by the late Nyoman Kaler in 1942. The word margapati comes from the word (mrga = animal, pati = king) is a dance that describes the movements of a king of the jungle (lion) who is wandering in the middle of the forest to hunt his prey. This dance is a loud son dance. In Bali, the word marga is a designation of the word "jalan" or "margi" such as "Marga Tiga" which is a three-way intersection and "pati" is death or death so this dance may mean the road to death or a dance that describes a woman's wrong way. , because this dance is usually danced by a female dancer with movements that resemble a man. The Margapati dance is composed by choreography, a blend of North and South Balinese styles.
MARGAPATI DANCE ORDER
Basically, the Balinese dance has the basics called Agem, Tandang and Tangkep. Agem is a basic attitude that contains a certain purpose, namely a basic movement that does not change from one main attitude to another. For example Mungkah Lawang, Ngrajasinga, Butangawasari and others. Away is a way of transferring one main movement to another, so that it becomes a series of continuous movements. Consisting of abah, namely the movement of foot movements according to dance compositions and badminton, namely the development of hands such as Luk Nagasatru, Nerudut and Ngelimat. Tangkep is an expression that radiates the spirit of dance or an expression that is generated through facial light. There is Encahcerengu, which is a change from one expression to another, and Maniscerengu, which is a smile while squinting at the eyes. Without Tangkep, a dance has a lifeless impression.
Likewise with the Margapati Dance, here are the coral guidelines:
