Barong and Keris dance is a traditional Balinese dance that tells the story of the eternal battle between good and evil. The dance is performed by two main characters: the Barong, a mythical creature representing good, and Rangda, the queen of the demons, representing evil.

The dance begins with Barong's arrival, accompanied by his followers, who dance around him in a state of frenzied excitement. The Barong is depicted as a lion or dragon-like creature, and his movements are accompanied by a gamelan orchestra, which creates a dramatic and energetic atmosphere.

As the Barong and his followers dance, Rangda appears, accompanied by her own group of demonic followers. The two sides then engage in a fierce battle, with the Barong and his followers attempting to defeat Rangda and her minions.

Despite the Barong's best efforts, Rangda is ultimately victorious, and the dance ends with a dramatic climax in which the Barong appears to be defeated. However, the dance is not intended to be a tragic story, as it is believed that Barong's defeat is only temporary and that he will eventually triumph over Rangda and restore balance to the world.
