one.  Before the dancers are competed, the performance begins with the Tandak Dance or the Manggarai Danding Dance.

 The dance was performed by male and female dancers as the opening act and enlivened the Caci Dance performance.  After the opening dance is finished, then proceed with the Caci Dance attraction.

 When both dancers will enter the arena, the dancers first warm up by performing dance moves.  Then they challenged each other while singing custom songs.  Then, the match begins.  In this attraction there are also some rules, players can only hit on the upper body of the law, such as the arms, back or chest.

 In addition, dancers must be able to fend or avoid the opponent's attack.  Caci dance performances are usually accompanied by traditional musical instruments, such as drums and gongs, as well as the song of the nenggo or dare from the supporters.

 In the show, each group also has its own supporters.  Like a sports competition, supporters also cheer for the support and enthusiasm of their mainstay dancers in order to win.
