Kecak dance is a traditional Balinese art drama dance from Indonesia. Which tells about the Ramayana and is played mainly by men. This dance is performed by many (tens or more) male dancers who sit in a circle and with a certain rhythm call "cak" and raise both arms, depicting the story of Ramayana when a line of monkeys helped Rama against Ravana. However, Kecak comes from the sanghyang ritual, which is a dance tradition in which the dancer will be in an unconscious state, communicating with God or the spirits of the ancestors and then conveying his hopes to the community.
