a daily show of java dance at Sultan Palace in Yogyakarta also known as Kraton Yogyakarta
It was mainly performed in the bal-musette between 1910 and 1960 in France.
The origin of java is popular. People looked for a type of waltz easier, faster, more sensual and not requiring a large dance hall.
It is a fast waltz, with the dancers very close together, walking by small steps. In fact, some men place their hands on their partner's buttocks while dancing it. This of course led some of the more respectable bal-musette dance halls to ban the java.
