Convention participants can look forward to a treat of dances in Indonesia. This island archipelago's dances are as diverse as the ethnic cultures that make up its society. Dances range from Java's elaborate open-air ballet to Bali's Kecak. Aside from the Kecak, other popular Balinese dances are the Barong and Legong.
