These 'Ghotul-s' play a very important part in the lives of these boys and girls fostering every act and keeping them always on the alert to emulate themselves. Almost every night they assemble on the dance floor and practise their dances or play games. Thus they become proficient in their dance movements. These dancers are divided into four groups - the first performed during the ceremonial visits to the villages made ready for weddings and festivals etc.
The 'Chelik-s' and 'Motiari-s' either go together or separately and the event is converted into the spirit of youth and love. In the second 'Pus kolang', performed in February the boys go alone wearing special dresses after practicing their dance movements for weeks. These 'Pus Kolang' dances are mostly stick dances in which the boys form a line or a circle in which the leader is called a Dog and the last one in the line a Hare.
