History PendetPendet included in this type of dance guardian, the Balinese dances are staged specifically for the purpose of religious ceremonies. This dance was created by dance artist, I Nyoman Kaler, in the 1970'sGoddard tells the story of the decline-goddess heaven to earth. Although dance is classified into different types of dance guardian but with other ceremonial dances which usually require specialized and trained dancers, anyone can dance Pendet, either already trained or who still lay, pemangkus men and women, rural women and girls. Basically in this dance the young girl just follow the movements of senior female dancer in front of them, who understand the responsibility in providing a good example. No need for intensive training.At first Pendet is a dance of worship that many exhibited at Temple, which describes the reception of the decline to the natural gods marcapada, an offering statement in the form of ritual dance. Gradually, over the development period, the artists change Pendet Balinese dance into dance "Welcome Speech", done while sprinkling flowers in front of the guests who came, like the Aloha in Hawaii. Nevertheless it does not mean Pendet so lost kesakralannya. Pendet still contain elements of the sacred-religious with religious charges include thick. And Pendet agreed born in 1950.
Sacred PendetPendet usually performed in groups or in pairs by the princess, and more dynamic than Rejang dance. Published after Rejang Dance at Pura page and usually facing toward the sacred (pelinggih). Pendet dancers dressed like the dancers are other sacred religious ceremonies, by wearing ceremonial garments, each dancer to bring equipment offerings such offerings sangku (holy water vessel), jars, bowls, and others.Professor of Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) Denpasar, Wayan Dibia, asserted that Pendet dance has long been an integral part of the spiritual life of the Balinese Hindu community.This dance is a dance performed by a group of young women, each carrying a silver bowl (bowl) full of flowers. At the end of the dance the dancers scattered flowers into the audience as a welcome greeting. This dance is usually displayed to welcome the guests or the start of a show (1999: 47).Creator or modern forms of dance choreographer Pendet is I Wayan Rindi (? -1967), A dancer who is widely known as an aspirant art of dance with the ability to preserve the art of composing dance and dance performance through learning on future generations. During his life he actively teaches a variety of dance, including dance Pendet to the descendants of the family or outside the family.According to his youngest son, I Ketut Sutapa, I Wayan Rindi modify Pendet sacred to welcome Pendet who now claimed to Malaysia as part of its culture. I Wayan Rindi family deeply regrets this. During his life, I Wayan Rindi never thought to register his findings so as not to be imitated in other countries.

Reception PendetIn addition there is no institution of copyright, Balinese dance it had never been patented because it contains a vast spiritual values ​​and can not be monopolized as a human creation or a particular nation. In this case, I Ketut Sutapa, professor of dance Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) of Bali, the government expects to start acting to save the national heritage from the hands of ignorant of other countries.Using the scientific approach to history should be more proportional than science approach to IPR (Intellectual Property Rights), because the IPR is a new product of western culture that existed then. IPR is not good enough to secure the cultural products before the IPR was founded, what its use is more oriented to collectivity, not individuality as understood western culture.IPR will not be fully able to meet the sense of justice and the dignity of civilized society. IPR is directed to the economic interests, while the Indonesian cultural products are more oriented social interests.

Error governmentTraces of history, has long Pendet Bali.Wayan culture rooted in Dibia, professor of Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) Denpasar, said Pendet is one of the oldest dance between similar dances in the island resort.Originator of the dance, continued Dibia, are two artists born in the village of Sumertha Denpasar, which I Wayan Rindi and Ni Ketut Reneng. "Both these artists create a welcoming Pendet with four dancers, to be presented as part of the show turistik in a number of hotels in Denpasar, Bali," he added.He said that since it was created dance always be an opening ceremony for the presentation of other Balinese dance.In 1961, I Wayan Beratha Pendet reworks it with a pattern like now, including adding the number of dancers to five people. Lapse a year later, I Wayan Beratha and his friends create Pendet mass with the number of dancers no less than 800 people, to be displayed in the opening ceremony of Asian Games in Jakarta.The case of Malaysia's claim over this archipelago culture is not the first. And, probably also will not be the last. For the humanist, Radhar Panca Dahana, Indonesia's cultural claims by Malaysia for the umpteenth time is a mistake the Government of Indonesia itself. "Yes, that's okay, we also like to take another culture for the promotion," he told the Republika.For Radhar, missed that culture is actually a mirror that we hurt and ashamed because conscious as the owner, not paying attention. "During these marginalized culture, government and society no longer cares," he said.For similar incidents do not happen again, Radhar asked the government to be more noticed cultures. "We promote our culture, so we are in front. Come up with our culture in the ceremonies, events. Do the songs today are sung by our president, "he added.
