To the Balinese, respecting God is not just done through religious ritulas, but also can be done through the arts of dancing. And this is the reason why Balinese dances have survived until today.
These dance activities which are a part of religious rituals are done almost throughout Bali, accordingly to the various local traditions, whether they are up in the mountains, village, or down at the coastal areas. For instance the coastal area is always related to fishing, and the custom dance that relates to fishing is Baris Kelemat Dance.
The Baris Kelemat Dance is one form of Baris dances that are performed only for religious purpose. The Baris Kelemat Dance is performed by fisherman. The deancers will use tools such as oars and move them impersonating a fisherman rowing his boat into sea to catch fish. Like most ritual Baris dances, the Kelemat Baris dance in Badung is categorized as a sacred dance performed by male dancers (i pick this article in bogog magazine)
