The dancers of Dansa Cocos wear unique traditional clothing, which is a combination of two cultures, Malay and Scottish, which have been mixed in the local culture of the Cocos ethnic group in the state of Sabah. This dress is synonymous with ruffle stitching with organza material.

Male dancers will wear clothes known as 'Baskat', which is a shirt similar to the design of a Blazer (Bush Jacket). It has been modified with ruffles on the sleeves called 'Frill' or, in the local language called 'Peril'. Men's Baskat shirts usually have shorter sleeves or so-called half-sleeves. This outfit will be worn with a white pagoda layer shirt on the inside. The use of the Baskat will be matched with long white pants made of satin material and matched with 'Sepatu', which are black high-heeled shoes.

The additional use of batik cloth, or in the local language called 'Ken Batik'. It is trimmed like a short skirt at knee level and a scarf tied around the waist called 'Sabok', which aims to give an impression of the value of Malay aesthetics in the use of this traditional clothing. As an additional decoration, a handkerchief will be tied as a neck decoration to replace the Neck Tie that is usually worn with a Bush Jacket or Blazer. As for headdresses, Songkok is used as a symbol of Islamic values in this ethnic group.

For female dancers, Peril's fashion resembles the basic cut of the Long Kebaya. Usually, a longer sleeve cuts up to wrist level compared to men's baskets. This fashion accessory will be worn with 'Cemis', which is a black corset on the inside matched with Ken Batik like a long skirt tied with Sabok. Just like the male dancer, the female dancer's dress is also matched with Sepatu, which is black flash shoes with short heels. The head accessories of the female dancers are not loaded with decorations. Instead, they will be buns or, in the local language, called 'Konde', which are trimmed and decorated using flowers. To add decoration, pearl earrings will be used by female dancers.

The Dansa Cocos only uses a violin instrument played by musicians known as 'Penggesek'. Usually, Penggesek consists of one or two people to produce a melody that is helped by the sound of applause from the crew or the villagers watching the performance. However, some performances also use the combination of drums and tambourines to form a more significant and mesmerizing sound ensemble.

The Dansa Cocos performance focuses on three basic styles: alternating foot stomps, hand gestures (crossing and alternating) between dancers, and hand clapping. The dynamics of the performance floor pattern will basically be a large circle, a small circle, and a line pattern between the dancers.
