This is plan is to be executed within this year. This registration is done as an effort to protect the art of Balinese culture. As well as to avoid claims of other countries against Balinese dance.

The Indonesia minister of Culture and Tourism said that now the data gathering stage is done to collect historical proof of Tari Gede Baris. So that the recognition process of Tari Gede Baris will run smooth. Beside Tari Baris Gede, Indonesia will also try to list Tari Saman from Aceh and Angklung from West Java, said the minister. In addition several other dances from several regions in Indonesia are also planned to be submitted to UNESCO.
