Part 8 Guomari Village Cham Dance is also called "military dance" in is more complex than the "Cham Dance" in Wutun Temple. The steps and techniques are highly technical, performative, and lack confrontation, similar to "military exercise". This is a very characteristic men's dance dedicated to Erlang God. It is performed by mutual visits and confrontation between two Tu villages. Each village has a group of 10 people, divided into two teams. The dancers hold two wooden sticks more than a foot long, dancing face to face.
