Three small girls between four and six years old first perform acrobatic feats with their flexible bodies accompanied by two drums and one tinkle-instrument; afterwards, they will be whirled into the air by their "trainer", an athletic man, and wound around his body, like snakes. Such snake-girls are also found in other villages of the Dan and Gere (Kran) along the western Ivory-coast and in eastern Liberia.
