Art Immersion
Citakara Sari welcomes people interested in learning about Balinese arts and culture from some of the best artists on the island.
Training sessions in Balinese dance, music, and singing are conveniently taught by artists at the estate. Our guests will be able to meet people who are passionate about arts. Citakara Sari, is located in East Bali in Mendira village close to Candi Dasa. East Bali is known as the real Bali where rice terraces spill down hillsides under swaying palms, and traditional villages remain intact. The culture of the region carries on as it has for centuries with little adaptation. Guests are likely to see ceremonies and temple festivities and enjoy a welcome alternative to the touristy hustle and bustle of South Bali and Ubud.
Please, contact us to indicate your interest.
Dance/Music Lessons
Three ninety-minute lessons held at the Citakara Sari compound. During these sessions our artists will provide guests an opportunity to learn introductory dances and/or play gamelan (traditional Balinese musical instruments. The conclusion of the training will culminate in a gala performance at the compound in which 20-40 professional musicians and dancers will present one of many Balinese classic stories. Guests will be dressed as members of the Balinese dance/drama performance.
If tranquility in a stunningly beautiful setting is the goal, it would be difficult to find anything nicer than this beautiful property.
