performers. The sticks are made out of bamboo. People drill holes
on the stick and fill the holes with coins. Dancers hit the sticks on
their bodies, floor to make interesting rhythm as they dance. Now, this
dance is usually performed in group with both men and women during festival
celebrations. Acrobatic skills often are incorporated into the dance
unlike the Coin Stick.
