A study of the ritual bedhaya dances of the Central Javanese courts, which are a part of the cultural tradition of the Mataram dynasty. It analyzes the structural, formal features of the dances and includes theories on their origin, social context and esoteric meaning.
The stately bedhaya dances of the Central Javanese courts represent an ancient tradition of the House of Mataram. As they were considered an heirloom of Javanese royalty, the esoteric songs and choreographies accompanied by special gamelan music have almost fallen into oblivion. The present discussion on their form and content provides important information on the development of the Performing Arts in Java. It aims at preserving this beautiful tradition for future generations.
