Oleg Tambulilingan is modern dance in Bali that has become a popular addition to the repertoire of dances included in a Legong performance. Originally, it was danced by only one girl and called Oleg, a general term meaning the swaying of a dancer. Later, a male part was added to make it a duet, and the dance gained a new them depicting two bumblebees (tambulilingan) flirting in a garden.

The female enters first, then she circles the stage fluttering the long silk scarf’s than hang from her sides. If the dancer is a good one, she conveys all the beguiling qualities of a young coquette. At the moment, she is moody and temperamental, her eyes narrow and her lips spread slightly into a seductive smile. The next her movements must flow from subdued and delicate to tense gestures of haughtiness and disdain.

At the point, she dances in the seated position, the sensuous sweeps of her hands, the tremble of her fingers and the fluctuating moods that pass and change incarnate the idea of woman.

The male enters unnoticed; he moves forward to make a conquest. First, they shy away from the moment of contact, yet woo with a display of their graces while pretending to be unaware of the other’s fascinating presence. They come together, bringing their faces close in an affectionate caress, then swirl apart in retreat, only to return to one another again. In the end, they fall in love and leave together.
