The Sua-Ku-Sua or "My Pomelo Tree" is a dance that likens the Sua's gentle leaves, attractive fruits, its
fragrance and slender body to that of a lady.
Performed by couples, the Sua-Ku-Sua dancers make use of two white fans that are swayed, as if to
signify the swaying of the leaves of the Sua tree while singing along with the music in their rice powder-
covered faces and their eyebrow and sideburns are enhanced with soot for aesthetic purposes.
Top (BARAWASI): traditional loose blouse, long sleeves with deep, plunging key-hole neckline; extra
panels attached to the right and left chest decorated with many tiny brass buttons.
