Tari Baris Cina merupakan jenis tarian Bali yang diduga kuat mendapat pengaruh budaya Tionghoa. Selain dari namanya, hal itu terlihat dari gerakan dan tata busananya. Gerakan tarian ini lebih menyerupai gerakan pencak silat atau kung fu. Hampir tak ada jejak pepakem (gerak dasar) tari Bali dalam tarian itu. Busana yang dikenakan para penarinya pun unik. Mereka mengenakan setelan celana panjang dan baju berlengan panjang dan berselempang kain. Di pura tertentu, penarinya juga mengenakan kacamata hitam ala juragan Tionghoa. Sebagai penutup kepala, mereka mengenakan topi bundar, bukan udeng atau gelungan sebagaimana yang dikenakan oleh penari tarian maskulin Bali pada umumnya. Senjata yang dibawanya pun bukan keris, melainkan pedang.
Baris Cina ditarikan oleh 18 laki-laki yang dibagi atas dua kelompok. Sembilan orang baris putih, dan sembilan orang baris selem (hitam). Keduanya melambangkan rwa bhineda yaitu dua kutub berseberangan yang selalu ada di alam semesta ini. Dalam terminologi Thionghoa disebut dengan Yin-Yang.
Musik pengiring Baris Cina adalah Gong Beri yaitu seperangkat instrumen yang terdiri dari sungu, tawa-tawa ageng, tawa-tawa alit, kempli, kajar, bebende, klenang, cenceng, beduk serta gong ber dan gong bor. Gong Ber dan Gong Bor keduanya merupakan gong yang tak bemoncol di tengah-tengahnya. Ketika dipukul keduanya mengeluarkan bunyi sember, tidak merdu seperti gong yang bermoncol.
Begitu ditabuh, perangkat gamelan tersebut menimbulkan bunyi-bunyian yang membakar semangat. Persis seperti musik perang. Apalagi sebelum keseluruhan orkestra dimainkan, musik diawali dengan kumandang sungu (alat musik tiup dari kerang) yang terkesan seperti sangkakala peperangan.
Dalam buku Evolusi Tari Bali, pakar etnonusikologi dan pengamat tari Bali Profesor I Made Bandem memperkirakan tari Baris Cina tumbuh sekitar tahun 835, saat Prasasti Blanjong dituliskan. Tapi dia tak menjelaskan apakah Tari Baris Cina dan Gong Beri lahir pada saat yang bersamaan sebagai satu kesatuan atau dalam periode yang berbeda kemudian dikawinkan.
Tarian Baris Cina kini menjadi tarian sakral di Pura Dadia Banjar Kelod (Renon), Pura Mertasari Belanjong (Sanur), Pura Segara (Sanur), Pura Gerua Delod Peken-Intaran (Sanur), dan Pura Petitenget (Kuta).

Nasty Bali - Balinese & Indonesian Mafia
Bali is not the tropical island paradise people say it is, especially not for the Balinese who suffer human rights abuse from Jakarta and are insulted and abused by the majority of Javanese and foreign expatriates on their island. The conduit for this abuse from every angle is the Balinese (Indonesian) police, whose officers pay to get their jobs and positions despite the low wages because they know how much money they will be able to extort from others; this is Nasty Bali.
Other web sites show just how nasty it gets;
Nasty Bali
Bali BS
Fugly Bali
Bali SOS
Bomb Bali
Save A Life
Human Rights Watch Indonesia
Wikipedia on human rights in Indonesia
Tapol - The Indonesia Human Rights Campaign
US Congress Report on Indonesia (search for "human rights")
Transparency International December 2006 Corruption Report (look for "police")
Transparency International Corruption Index (look for "Indonesia" at the bottom)
Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer 2006 (Indonesian parliament, police and judiciary score some of the very worst marks for the whole world)
Nasty Bali expatriates do all they can to trash these sites but the truth is there for you to see; there are 2 cases of cited human rights abuse by the Balinese police against 2 different people on 2 different occasions (although involving the same police officers, including Made Pastika) who were involved in charitable work in Bali. These people were tortured by Bali's mafia police at the bequest of others for a few dollars and their services to the island and the Balinese people meant nothing! Why? Because the nasty expatriate and Javanese community in Bali care nothing about the Balinese, they only care about their wallets, which makes them excellent bed fellows for the corrupt Indonesian police.
This Nasty Bali blog looks to set the record straight and to highlight / expose just some of the nasty expats and Indonesians living / working in Bali. People like police chief and potential governor I Made Mangku Pastika, former PATA chairman Jack Daniels in Sanur who tried to murder a business rival, gay Bali real estate broker and alleged pedophile Bert Vierstra in Lovina, and Roy "Majapahit" Thompson the Ubud based drug dealer who is friends with both Bert and Made's sons.
