The dance is typically accompanied by a [[gamelan]] ensemble of bamboo instruments, called a [[gamelan joged bumbung]]. Its dancers usually wear attire consisting of a [[Kebaya]] and [[Sarong]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2013-01-18|title=Joged - Balinese Fun Dance|url=https://www.baliaround.com/joged-balinese-fun-dance/|access-date=2021-02-18|website=Bali Around}}</ref> Unlike most [[Balinese dance]]s, ''joged'' is not a religious or ritual one. It is more of a secular social dance for entertainment purposes only.<ref name=":0" /> During a ''joged'' performance, a single or several female dancers will perform for usually predominantly male audience to dance with them. Dancers may often invite a spectator to join in the ''joged'' using a fan and [[sash]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" /> which unlike many dances has no set moves and is largely improvised. It is considered impolite to refuse such an invitation.<ref name=":0" />

The dance often involves movements that are erotic and teasing, showing various interactions between the dancers and their male counterpart, ranging from humorous to seductive. The more provocative nature that this dance can have was called "[incompatible] with the ethics of Balinese culture" by Putu Beratha, head of Bali Province's Cultural Affairs Department, with a youth-led movement ''Stop Joged Jaruh'' attempting to remove recordings of the dance from [[YouTube]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=CoconutsBali|date=2017-12-08|title=Bali university students scour YouTube for erotic Balinese dance content to flag and report {{!}} Coconuts Bali|url=https://coconuts.co/bali/news/balinese-university-students-scour-youtube-erotic-indonesian-dance-content-flag-report/|access-date=2021-02-18|website=Coconuts|language=en-US}}</ref> In 2016 Governor Made Mangku Pastika attempted to ban the dance, calling it "pornographic".<ref>{{Cite web|last=CoconutsBali|date=2016-11-09|title=Bali governor moving to ban 'erotic' and 'pornographic' Joget Bumbung dance {{!}} Coconuts Bali|url=https://coconuts.co/bali/news/bali-governor-moving-ban-erotic-and-pornographic-joget-bumbung-dance/|access-date=2021-02-18|website=Coconuts|language=en-US}}</ref> In August 2017, the Bali Provincial Government held a ''joged bumbung'' festival to attempt to improve the dance.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Industry.co.id|date=2017-08-13|title=Pemprov Bali Menggelar Festival Joged Bumbung|url=https://www.industry.co.id/read/14066/pemprov-bali-menggelar-festival-joged-bumbung|access-date=2021-02-18|website=Industry.co.id|language=id}}</ref>

The dance is quite comparable with other [[Indonesian dance]] traditions, such as those of [[Javanese dance|Javanese]] ''[[ronggeng]]'' and [[Sundanese dance|Sundanese]] ''[[jaipongan]]''.
