The serimpi is not a native dance to Indonesia--I do not believe this should be included in the article.

The above comment is curious and interesting - and if true should be supported by authoritative evidence concerning the real origins of the serimpi. If it is untrue, the implicit charge should be withdrawn.

Interpretation

[edit]

This portion here from the Interpretation section includes the following, which looks like quote that refers to a video or series of photographs not present here. Consider removing this section.

Judith Becker provides a tantric interpretation. The first position shows desire plus the body; the second shows opposition between desire and the chakras (there is some evidence that the legs were considered a fifth chakra), and in the final section, interaction between the head and desire. Afterwards, desire is absorbed into the body, and then the dancers are arranged in the same arrangement as offerings in the Majapahit palace. Three is a number rich in Hindu symbolism, like the three pramanas, the Trilokya or the Trimurti, so a threefold set of three symbolizes completion and perfection.[15]
