Various different traditions are encompassed in the phrase, but normally the dancers will all carry one or two sticks (''bastons'') traditionally of Holm Oak , about 40-50 cm long and 5 cm thick. In the most common set, two opposite rows of male dancers elaborate some patterns of stick-clashing. Sometimes, a peculiar chief character directs the movements and changes. The dancers may wear white skirts or short trousers, as well as red ribbons and ornaments. |
