Golek Sulung Dayung

This classical Javanese dance comes from the court of Yogyakarta. It depicts a young woman's desire to always look her best. The dancers seen here belongs to the Yayasan Siswa Among Beksa which was created by the brother of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX in 1952. The dance foundation's goal is to preserve and develop the classical court dance of Yogyakarta and the Mataram style.

It's nice to look at your family tree,
I just realized recently I have a Chinese and European (Prob. Dutch) blood within me..
Although when you look in a glance, I'm simply a half Javanese and Bangkanese..
I didn't realize I have Chinese kind of eyes..
And my mother has a natural reddish black hair, while my brother has very dark brown (Almost hazel)..

Old Mataram kingdom (Medang) and Khmer kingdom had a close relationship back then (7th-9th century AD). I think they shared the same aesthetical standard.

Hi Im cambodian and im very interested in javanese dancing and balinese dancing. I dont want to sound mean or rude towards indonesdian culture i would love to know the difference between javanese and balinese dancing. To me both javanese and balinese dance is very beautiful, wonderful and very graceful. I myself i do cambodian dancing but im not goood. ^_^

Hello,
I saw your comment and gunjakarta's reply. I am from Singapore and I have to say I have always wanted to learn Javanese court dance and Cambodian dance for many years. To me, these two dances are perhaps the most beautiful dances in SE Asia. Unfortunately nobody is teaching in Singapore, although our countries are nearby. It is such a pity...

[@revolutionaryjake]

This is truly unique and amazing.

[@irdiana]

really? how so?
I saw a cambodian dance at an Asian Dance festival in Philadelphia last summer. It was really beautiful and similar to this. I think it was a dance for the royal court & lasted for i think 30+mins.

I've only been to the Indonesian Kraton once but I'm really impressed. The rich and luxurious Indonesian culture makes me proud to be part Indonesian. The music and the choreography was so friggin' stunning and beautiful it hurts. The performance was haunting and hypnotizing. xx

Padahal jaman dahulu kala, sonder nya tidak sampai kebawah seperti itu..
lama lama menyerupai Solo..

[@cleothello]

Hmm.. This dance was performed at the Kraton Palace is it? Looks familiar.

[@Foxxified]

Hahha! Well. The name "Chandrawinate" has strong heavy ties with the Balinese aristocracy lineage. xx

[@gunjakarta]

@lilcraziaznkid Hi... vice versa, I admire Cambodian art and culture too.
The difference is in the beat of gamelan music and the movement. Javanese court dance is more slow, serene, graceful and controlled; while Balinese dance is more energetic, vivid, and vigorous yet also graceful. Among our neighbours, Cambodian dance have the very same refinement and grace quality with Javanese dance. The movements and hand gesture is quite similar, but the music is rather different.

The ancient Cambodians (Kamboja) had Javanese priests (pre-Islam) to carry out enthronement rituals.
