- Description: The Nyau dance, they say is performed in the dry season. The dancers put on rags and cover their faces and heads with feathers or grass masks so that they cannot be recognised. In some cases disobedient girls can be caught and beaten. It is an initiation dance for boys but the women instructors can use them for this purpose. It always appears to be girls who need instruction and never the boys who merely go through their initiation ceremonies. Nyau dance (mask dance) with two drums.
