Musical accompaniment is not a complete gamelan orchestra but only few instruments: kethuk, kenong, gongs and kendang only.

Many taboos surrounding this dance. Rehearsals should only be done once every 35 days, in every rehearsal and performance offerings must be made.

Dancers must perform fasting and ritual purification, their must wear bridal dress and their upper body lathered with mangir (yellowish lotion made by rice and temugiring).

This dance style depict subtle eroticism of Javanese, all the dancers looked down not looking to the audience. The simplicity of the music, gentle movement of the dancers and the offerings creates beauty that makes skin crawl.
