The male dancers wear an attire known as Bakad Talun, a loincloth made from the bark of the Timbaran or the wild Tarap tree. The Bakad Talun is often sewn and embellished with traditional designs called Arit. The dancers' arms are adorned with Pakel or Fakel Riman—bracelets crafted from the fibres of a forest plant called Riman Labo. These black fibres are intricately woven into bracelets and wrapped around the knees as leg decorations. The male dancers wear a Sigar Suba for headgear, a headpiece crafted from red fabric and styled to resemble a traditional tengkolok.

Female dancers wear white attire, such as a kebaya blouse adorned with black lace along the neckline and sleeves, known as Bekad Berecu. This blouse is paired with Tekip Siating, a black sarong embellished with beads or lace at the hem and worn at knee length. The Tekip Siating is secured with a Pogot, a silver belt designed with coin-like plates. The dancers wear a yellow headpiece called Alet Birar to complete the ensemble. Around the waist, they adorn a Selapit, a belt crafted from tiny beads. Additional accessories include the Baw Tulang (necklace) and Leku Baw (bracelets), further enhancing the authenticity and elegance of this traditional Lundayeh attire.

This dance accompanies three Tawak-Tawak (gongs) of varying sizes and tonal resonance. In some performances, a musical instrument called the Talab Buluh is played alongside the gongs, adding a distinctive harmonic dimension to the Arang Tawak performance.

The Arang Tawak dance is typically performed in pairs, involving at least two male and two female dancers. Alternatively, it may feature two male dancers accompanied by multiple female dancers. Male dancers carry hand props such as spears or machetes—symbolising shields—while executing movements that depict bravery and strength in a combative style.

Female dancers, meanwhile, perform hand movements in a horizontal line formation behind the male dancers, creating a striking balance between strength and grace. In another arrangement, the dancers form a circle, with the male performers at the centre, showcasing their agility and warrior spirit.
