Dancers Budge Gill and Robert Henderson striking a pose in Javanese costume Brisbane Queensland 1931

  Javanese Dance Refined male character performing sembahan in the jengkeng position. Refined male character performing sembahan in the jengkeng position. Like the music of the Javanese gamelan which accompanies it, Javanese dance has Hindu-Buddhist influences seen in the use of stylised poses and intricate finger and hand positions. In the refined female and male styles, there is a slow and flowing meditative quality similar to that of tai chi which allows the movements and poses to be connected seamlessly. In stark contrast, the strong male style is bold and expansive demanding a high level of physical ability comparable to ballet. The rich colours and patterns of the costumes, sumptuous jewellery and detailed makeup only serve to beautify the movements of this ancient and highly complex dance form."
