The class takes place in an open-air studio surrounded by the natural beauty of Bali, creating a peaceful and harmonious environment ideal for learning and self-expression. During the workshop, participants will be provided with traditional costumes or simple scarves to enhance the experience, and there will be opportunities to take photos in traditional dance poses, capturing memorable moments of your cultural journey.
