Condong (Balinese: ᬘᭀᬦ᭄ᬤᭀᬂ) is a Balinese dance which is often performed as a preface to legong and accompanied by the semar pangulingan style of gamelan. The term also refers to a stock character, a quintessential representation of the maidservant, found in the condong dance as well as the legong, gambuh, and arja dances.
