We thank and grateful! m was the one who was invited as a speaker in the Seminar. She was invited to share her art experiences and other activities in efforts to preserve Balinese culture, particularly the classical dances of Bali.

It was not easy for m to give formal speaking in a public seminar, besides she was not so fluent speaking in Bahasa Indonesia, so she spent some of her seminar sessions to perform dances and gamelan. m invited her students from Tunas Maragawi Dance and Gamelan group to perform here.

The hall where the seminar held was not so huge so not all her students were invited to participate this event. The students who were invited were the little Condong dancer and Legong Kuntul dancers. Especially for the Condong dance performance accompanied by a small group of gamelan played by the Legong Kuntul dancers. Yes, they play twice, in addition to dancing, in different sessions they also played the gamelan.
