Teruna Jaya Dance at Puri Ubud, Bali

Teruna Jaya dance tells the story of a young man who has reached adulthood with strong expressions and behavior to captivate his lover. This dance originates from Buleleng Regency (North Bali), first created in 1915, by dance artist Pan Wandres in the form of "Kebyar Legong", then perfected by I Gede Manik around the 1950s.
