Hi there - have been flirting with the idea of bringing the kids (4 and 9 yrs) with me to Bali for up to a few months, maybe in Sept or Oct. I know that even just a long 'holiday' in Bali would be an 'educational' experience for them, but I want a bit more for them, I want them to be able to have actual hands-on experiences with Balinese music and art and dance and crafts.
In my years in Africa (a long long time ago) I took the advantage that my 'wealth' (in relative terms, I was not rich!) afforded me to have private workshops with artists I liked, to have tennis lessons from top tennis players, private language lessons, to invite entire music and dance troupes over for parties where everyone joined in, that kind of thing. It was brilliant!
I wonder if the same would be possible for us in Bali - to find artists (of any/every medium), musicians, dancers, weavers who would teach us or allow us access to their 'workshops' to learn in depth about what they do and how they do it? Any thoughts or advice?
I've been to Bali only once by the way - Kuta, Ubud - and that was 15 yrs ago...
Thanks!
