Barong animal mask dance, together with sanghyang dance are considered native Balinese dances, predating Hindu influences. The native Indonesians of Austronesian heritage often have similar mask dances that represent either ancestral or natural spirits; an example is Dayak's Hudoq dance. The term barong is thought to have been derived from the local term bahruang, which today corresponds to the Indonesian word beruang which means "bear".[2] It refers to a good spirit, that took the form of an animal as the guardian of forest.

The dance opens with two playful monkeys teasing Barong in a peaceful environment.
