Gendang Beleq dance is a sacred folk dance tradition of the Sasak people[1] of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.[2] This dance performance is usually accompanied by big drums, called gendang beleq.[3]
Gendang beleq can be performed during life-cycle ceremonies, such as celebration of birth, circumcision, wedding and funeral. It can also be performed in a ceremony to invoke rainfall or in a celebration for national holidays.[4]
