Page "Tinku" Paragraph 10

The dance is performed in a crouching stance, bending at the waist.

Arms are thrown out and there are various kicks, while the performers move in circles following the beat of the drum.

Every jump from one foot to the next is followed by a hard stomp and a thrown fist to signify the violence from the ceremonial tinku.

Many times the dancers will hold basic and traditional instruments in their hands that they will use as they stomp, just to add more noise for a greater effect.
