Putu Dancing at Pondok Bali

On Sunday night(August 19)we went to the Pondok Bali restaurant on Pulteney Street in the city to see our friend Putu perform traditional Balinese dance. There was a group of 10 of us and the dancing was entertaining and so was the food. Lots of different dishes were served with dance performances interspersed between courses. Putu danced twice and three girls also took to the floor to dance one piece each.
