"Tarian makan sirih" is accompanied by distinctive Malay music accompanied by a song titled "Makan Sirih". As for the costumes performed by dancers, they usually wore traditional Malay attire, such as pants, clothes, and "kopiah" for men. Whereas the female dancers wear the clothes that are usually worn by the bride, namely traditional clothes called the "Baju Kurung teluk belanga". At the head, there is a crown equipped with flower-shaped decorations. Meanwhile, the lower part of the dancers' bodies was wrapped in brightly colored "songket" cloth. "Tarian makan sirih" is performed by both men and women. The dancers are obliged to understand special terms in Malay dance, such as "igal" (emphasizing hand and body movements), "liuk" (movement of bowing or swinging body), "lenggang" (walking while moving hands), "titi batang" (walking in a line as if climbing the stem), "gentam" (dancing while stomping on the feet), "cicing" (dancing while jogging), "legar" (dancing while walking around 180 degrees), and so on. During the performance, one of the dancers in the offering dance will bring a box containing betels. The box would then be opened and the guests who are considered the greatest are given the first opportunity to take it as a form of respect, then followed by other guests. Therefore, many people call this dance as t"arian makan sirih."
