The 90-minute show will take you on a wondrous journey, starting in Bali and going on to Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Papua.

Tickets were a bit expensive but show was enjoyable. The show went for an hour and a half of non stop performance. Lovely costumes, nice dances from the different parts of Indonesia. Great acrobatics. My 4 year old daughter was asked to dance with the dancers and she had a ball. This is close to Bali Collection where you can... More

The tickets for this show are so expensive we were expecting an amazing acrobatics show but it was a slow high school grade performance at best. Went for 90 mins and we walked out 30mins into the show. Definitely spend your money elsewhere!!

This is a wonderful dance show representing Indonesian dance from all over the country, the Bali Nusa Dua theatre is a great venue to view this wonderful performance, it’s very professional and full of many surprises, it could easily be London or New York.

The show is nice but if you look for authentic folcloric dances and music etc you're wrong in this place - its more like a "bollywood" production with good dancers and acrobats

The negatives: 1. OVER PRICED - At almost $200 for a family of 4 (section B tickets), this show neither includes dinner nor hotel transfers. 2. The show fails to grip and is downright crass at many points. Trying to tie in a 'modern' dance into a supposed 'culture show' did not gel with the theme developed until then. A... More

The show is well done and offers a decent glimpse into the variety of dances and culture from across Indonesia, but it certainly caters to tourists and is nothing like you'll enjoy watching in a live, outdoor setting. On the whole, it was a good show, but not the cheapest ticket.

I came to Devdan Show in Nusa Dua complex, when I thought it was only normal dance. I`m expecting the dance will be something normal and perhaps boring. And they have proved me wrong! The greeting service upon arrival was very welcoming. The seat was comfort. And of course the main attraction was spectacular. It shows us how beautiful our... More

Ok, first off let me say that my family and I are not your typical tourists who stay at fancy resorts that offer little to no culture while visiting a foreign country. After a week outside of Ubud, we were ready for the beach. We heard the beaches in Nusa Dua were the best so decided to do the resort... More

During our stay in Bali we have seen various traditional dances, such as the fire dance, the Kechak dance, the Barong and Keriss dance, but the Devdan show is something special and unique. First of all also the traditional dances are performed in a modern way, the settings, the music, the costumes, the choreography are fantastic. Are not only dances,... More

This is one awesome show that relates to all the cultures and religions of Indonesia. No need to travel around just watch Devdan and you will have seen Indonesia in 90mins.
