The Sumazau dance can be considered the state dance of Sabah. The arm gestures are likened to that of a bird and it floats gracefully at approximately shoulder level with gentle bending of the elbow and wrist or alternatively is swung gently like a pendulum, parallel at the sides of the body.
The costumes are authentically Kadazan and are usually black in colour and made of a velvet type material adorned with the appropriate accessories.
The music is provided by gongs of different size.
