Explanation about the dance: With a basket in place on the back, and a machete/sword in hand, the dancer goes "hunting" around the tree. When he finds a special treat that he likes, he "wacks" it off with his machete and goes on to find the next one. Craig and I have had a couple of opportunities to do this dance. So, hopefully, we will get better at it. Just remember that the ancestors of these Dayak people were the former HEAD HUNTERS of Borneo.
