In English
Ni Ketut Reneng is a maestro of Balinese dance. She was born in Banjar Kedaton, Denpasar, 1909. Both of her parents died when Reneng was young. Then she devoted himself to Geria Punia. She learned to dance when she was a child to A.A. Ngurah Jambe, Salit Rengis and Nyarikan Sriada. Reneng had learned to dance leaning with Ida Bagus Bodha from Kaliungu Kelod and A.A. Rai Perit from Sukawati. She is one of the creators of Pendet Dance. Together with I Wayan Rindi, they decided to make a dance by taking the standard of the Pendet Wali Dance as the spirit of the dance. The Legong Keraton group, which was formed in 1919, became big thanks to Reneng's services. At that time she also mastered various types of palegongan dances such as the Condong Pelayon Dance, Legong Pelayon, Lasem, Kuntul, Jobog, Goak Macok and Legod Bawa. She was also a member of the Janger Dance group in Banjar Keton in 1928 and recalled her in Batavia (Jakarta) in 1929. Together with her colleague Ni Pollok, Reneng had worked as a model for a Le Mayeur who lived in Sanur. Reneng has also been a fare teacher on the shores of Lake Batur at the request of the writer and humanist Sutan Takdir Alisyahbana.
