Welcome 🤍 I’m Deena. This is a glimpse into my life as a dancer, studying Indonesian dance. Currently focusing on Balinese dance, its discipline, control, and cultural meaning.
I got a bit slack with posting videos last year. We’ve started strong this year. Hope I can keep it up! More vlogs, more dance documentation. Let me know if there’s anything you want to see or know more about in traditions Indonesian dance x
Excited to finally see the results of Gudang Garam's Kemerdekaan TVC that I had the pleasure of being part of recently. 3 days in Kediri for a 3 second part in the commercial.
I just posted a new blog on my website about Balinese Cremation Ceremonies – specifically the difference between Pelebon and Ngaben. 🕊️
I also touch on the concept of ngayah, and what it means for Balinese communities. It's a fascinating topic that explores culture, tradition, and the deep sense of community in Bali.
The foundation of Betawi dance starts with Mendhak, a low standing position with knees bent. It's important to note these two stances and understand when to use them.
There are 2 ways to Mendhak 1. Mendhak Cokek - where the upper body is upright 2. Mendhak Topeng - where the upper body is lowered

What do you struggle with most as a dancer?
I've always struggled with the idea of freestyle dance, and recently had to break through my fears for a collaborative performance in Bali.
