  • Two singers in the middle with sticks as the instruments to make the beat
  • Beginning songs start out slow and the men take the lead and the women follow in their line behind the men
  • At the end of the song, the singers end with "yo" and the male dancers respond with "ye"
  • The beat picks up and the dancers begin dancing with the fish step style
  • The songs vary, with slower songs and some faster songs, with a skip in the beat and the well seasoned dancer can "jump", or put in some fancier steps to liven up the dance
