• The number of pairs usually ranges from 4 to 6, but the number can be adjusted based on the size of the stage. Larger stages allow for more dancers to perform.

• Dance movements focus heavily on the hands, which are raised to shoulder level by both male and female dancers.

• The dance begins with hand variations performed in front of the body, turning left and right, then raising the hands and extending them forward. This sequence is repeated and typically starts with male dancers performing silat-inspired steps before transitioning into the main movements.

• Male dancers then place the female dancer’s scarf on their shoulders, continuing to dance while standing. A unique feature of this dance is the male dancer's playful teasing, extending his hand toward the female dancer, who playfully fends it off.

• This sequence is repeated multiple times by each pair. Another variation involves male dancers sitting and performing frog-like jumps, followed by female dancers doing the same. The dancers then stand and return to the initial variation, repeating it until the dance concludes.

• Mak Inang Tua was recreated in 1994 by Razali bin Ismail, better known as "Tok Ram." He reimagined the dance based on community life, interactions, playful courtship, and teasing.

• Previously performed in palaces, the dance has become a widely loved folk dance throughout Kedah and Perlis.
