Balinese American Dance Theatre (BALAM) was founded in 1979 by choreographer and dance educator Islene Pinder and has performed throughout the United States, and internationally. Under the artistic direction of Carlos Fittante, a Baroque dance specialist, presently the company’s repertoire highlights Baroque, Balinese, Japanese Noh, and Spanish Escuela Bolera techniques. BALAM’s unique blend of historically and culturally informed innovative choreography, opulent costumes, striking masks, eclectic music, and fantasy characters enacting myths and tales presented at the grass-roots level, has broad audience appeal and is suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds.
