The majority of kecak dance players are male, whose numbers reach dozens. But there are also women who danced figure “Shinta” in kecak dance. The dance is performed by male dancers sitting in a circular line by saying “cak cak cak cak cak” repeatedly, then raising arms, describing the Ramayana story when many monkeys are helping Rama against Ravana.
