About the Teacher

Ida Ayu Nyoman Dyana Pani began studying the arts at the age of 5 under her father's guidance. Music, dancing, and singing became part of her family's daily routine, eventually developing into an arts studio (Maha Bajra Sandhi). This rigorous education, which focused on mastering several arts (multi-talented), led her to numerous performance opportunities at the regional, national, and international levels. Her special talents lie in playing the drums/musician, mastering traditional vocal arts, including Kidung, Cecangkriman, Kekawin, and Palawakya.
