thecritiquevirtuoso, you are very much correct. Flamenco dancers are originally gypsy dancers who originated from India... and Bali is predominantly Hindu.... the source is indeed India. :>

hello, I would just like to get back to this speculation because it has also started to fascinate me: the hand gestures in this dance ultimately derive from the Indian concept called mudras. I do believe that spanish flamenco have mudra-like hand gestures (am I correct?) so as far as any connection being possible, this is the only one I can only seem to find that draws from the same sources (India)

I've been fascinated by Bali ever since I was a
teenager (and that was a LONG time ago). I've always wanted to see these Legong dancers. Thanks for uploading this beautiful video!

It WAS fully infiltrated by the Indian culture. That was before the Spanish conquerors forced the people to adopt the Spanish culture instead. But it's true that you can only see bits and pieces, but in that case then you should also include Vietnam after their 1000 year rule under the Chinese, because mentioning only the Philippines wouldn't be fair.

Thanks for the information but what I was trying to empart is that the Philippines compared to other Southeast Asian nations has not been fully infiltrated by the Indian culture. Yes you can see bits and pieces of it's enfluence but not as visible as the one you see somewhere else within the region. The Spanish enfluence of almost 400 years killed and almost elminated what is borrowed and acquired in the Philippines prior to the Spanish colonization, and yes that includes the Indian enfluence.

You might want to look at this too: bahagi (part, portion) in Tagalog, is bhag in Hindi,
diwata (god or goddess) is devata
dukha (poor, destitute) is duhkha
guro (teacher) is guru
katha (story, fiction) is katha
mukha (face) is mukha
yaya (nurse) is aya |
