The Kecak dance was created in the 1930s by a Balinese artist named Wayan Limbak and a German painter named Walter Spies. The Balinese Kecak dance is inspired by the Sanghyang dance. Sanghyang dance itself is a sacred Balinese dance that is performed in Hindu temples to drive away misfortune and disease. The original Kecak dance is only performed by men aged 50 years and over.
