Abstract
The participants of the hair-washing-ceremony arrive in the house. The first dance is performed to invite the protective and the ancestral spirits to take part in the feast. A dance with invocation of the spirits takes place, followed by the meal. Adat dances and further dances with invocation of the spirits are performed. An oracle with a hard-boiled egg is consulted, followed by entertainment dances. The dances are accompanied by a gendang music group.
