Gandrung

Gandrung (Javanese: ꦒꦤ꧀ꦝꦿꦸꦁ; Osing: Gandrong; Balinese: ᬕᬦ᭄ᬤ᭄ᬭᬸᬂ; Petjo: Gandroeng) is a traditional dance from Indonesia.

[2] It is also commonly performed as a tourist attraction,[1] for example in Bali or in Grajagan Bay in Banyuwangi.

When the music starts, the dancer begins dancing with hip thrusts and moves to the center stage.

When the gandrung spots an audience member she wishes to dance with, she throws her shawl to him to bring him to the stage.

The audience member who has danced with the gandrung usually gives a small amount of money[1] as a token of appreciation.

Gandrung is now also performed as dance of courtship and love between girls and boys in central and eastern Lombok.
